Instructions
Step 1
Obtain a permit to manufacture soap. Adjust administrative matters with the fire department and the sanitary-epidemiological service.
Step 2
Find a room for a soap factory. It can be located anywhere in the city, so you can significantly save on rent. Solve issues with sewerage, heating, security. The room should have at least two halls: one for making soap, the other for a warehouse for its “maturation” and storage.
Step 3
Purchase the necessary equipment. If you are going to rely on handmade soap, you will not need so many accessories: an oven, several vats, molds for casting and cooling.
Step 4
Find suppliers of raw materials and consumables. This will be the most expensive part of your business expenses. The main task is to find manufacturers or wholesalers of a good soap base, since the quality of all your products will depend on it. In addition, you will have to purchase auxiliary ingredients, aromatic oils, decorative additives, dyes, decorations, packaging.
Step 5
Hire a soap maker. Try to find such an employee who will not only own the manufacturing technology, but also perform the functions of a soap designer. In addition, you will need a soap assistant and a warehouse worker (packer).
Step 6
Together with the soap maker, compose an assortment portfolio, which will include both cheaper options sold by weight and individual gift items. Today, there are an impressive number of formulations and external configurations of soap. Try to change your assortment every 3-4 months.
Step 7
Find distribution channels for your soap factory. Create a commercial offer for small stores or find distributors. If your budget allows, you can open your own retail outlet.
