The production of handmade soap attracts many entrepreneurs with its quick return on investment. The demand for decorative soap is growing from year to year, this market in Russia is still far from saturation, which means that those who want to establish this simple production have chances of success.
It is necessary
- -knowledge of the soap making technology;
- -small production and storage room;
- -equipment for the production of soap (plate, large metal containers, molds);
- - a welder and two soap packers on staff.
Instructions
Step 1
Get to know the technology of handmade soap making. You can find all the necessary information in open sources. The industry of "hand-made" soaps in the West is extremely developed, and on the world Internet there is a mass of the most detailed information about the manufacture of such products and about everything that is required for this. The soap production technology is essentially the same, but it has a lot of recipes that allow you to experiment endlessly with the appearance and properties of the products.
Step 2
Rent a space of several tens of square meters. For mass production of soap, one cannot do without such a production site, since at home it will not be possible to produce a quantity of products sufficient for a good turnover. The room will need to be divided into two zones - the actual production and the warehouse, where the already brewed soap will solidify and wait for packing work.
Step 3
Purchase equipment for making soap - a gas stove, containers for cooking a soap base and a mold into which the cooked soap will need to be poured. Then find suppliers of the raw materials you need in the production - soap base, essential oils, various vegetable components of the soap. You will have to work with suppliers all the time, so look for opportunities for profitable long-term cooperation with them.
Step 4
Calculate what volumes of production will be acceptable and optimal for you and, based on them, decide how many people will work for you to make soap. Typically, such a production involves one soap maker and several packers. The owner himself is most often engaged in working with suppliers, as well as selling products at such an enterprise, it is inappropriate to hire additional personnel for this.
