Bond Offering

We are over halfway to our goal IN THE FIRST WEEK of offering investors a chance to purchase small business bonds with @thesmbx!! Investor crowdfunding allows even small investors to make a big difference while getting a nice return on their investment. I love this model and I love that with SMBX you have the confidence knowing that I submitted years of financials, tax returns, a background check, and a credit check for review. SMBX handles investor repayment as well so payments are automatic and timely. That way I can stick with the business of making great bagels and teaching fun classes.

We are slowly and methodically integrating our two spaces here at MEC. The door between the two will really make it seem real. Stop and say hi and ask to see the new space – I love showing it off! Meanwhile we are teaching in our current commercial kitchen and having a lot of fun making bagels, pickles and scratch meals with our Mermaid and Train608 community. TRUE STORY: I’m actually starting to miss the outdoor Dane County Farmers Market. When it snows in my face this April at the stand I hope you don’t immediately remind me how I said I was ready to go back. It’s a kind of love! We’re using some of this time to improve on the variety and quantity of things that we’ll have available at our stand and as always baking fresh for you and using high quality and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
