Soap Making Entrepreneur
This is not your typical sales page!
Although you will come across several opportunities to order 'Soap Making Entrepreneur' as you scroll down the page,
DO NOT BUY IT
unless you seriously want to start a soap making business with all that starting any small business entails!
This is not a fluffy feel good ebook.
If it was it would be called 'Turn your Soap Making Hobby into a Business in 10 Easy Steps'.
Starting a small business is serious stuff, and I am not going to lie to you and tell you that it is easy. Or that you will get rich within days!
If that is what you are looking for, 'Soap Making Entrepreneur' is not the book for you!
So - Want to Know What is in the Ebook?
Starting a small business is not for the faint hearted. It is hard work and even for very experienced soap makers, turning your craft into a business will require you to learn and master new skills.
Very few of those new skills will be related to actually making soap!
CHAPTER 1: KNOW YOUR CRAFT
If you are intending to start a business selling handmade soap, knowing how to make it – and make it well, is a definite prerequisite!
CHAPTER 2: RESEARCH YOUR BUSINESS
To research you business idea, you need to look at the external environment (the market you will be entering) and work out how your new business can and will respond to the needs, challenges and threats that exist within the market.
CHAPTER 3: COSTING AND PRICING
What is the Start-up Profit Potential of Your Business Model?
One key element of your business model to evaluate is the start-up profit potential. Can your business model earn you the profit you require or will it end up being a money pit?
CHAPTER 4: ORGANISING YOUR FINANCES
Funding for your small business may be available from a variety of sources. The way you decide to raise the finance for your small business is one of the major choices you will face.
CHAPTER 5: SETTING UP YOUR BUSINESS
Unless you intend to keep your soap making enterprise as a hobby, you will need to do one or two things to set up officially as a business.
Firstly you will have to decide which business structure is right for your business, and select and register a business name. You also need to find a home for your business. Is your kitchen big enough or will you have to find business premises? Then there is record keeping, and registering as a business with the tax office and organising business insurance.
Finally as soap manufacturers are regulated (at least in Australia), you will also have to investigate what licenses, permits or registrations you need to operate a soap manufacturing business.
CHAPTER 6: FINDING AND MANAGING SUPPLIERS
Managing supplier relationships is an important aspect of running your new small business, particularly if you are a retailer. But no matter what type of business model you decide to run with, you will have to deal with suppliers!
CHAPTER 7: PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
One of the make or break decisions you make for your business will be the type of products you develop for sale.
Many soap makers base these decisions purely on the type of products they enjoy making and can make really well, and it is just a lucky coincidence if they manage to find a market for those products!
CHAPTER 8: PRODUCT PRESENTATION
How are you going to present your soap products for sale?
CHAPTER 9: BUSINESS PLANNING
One of the most important tasks during the start-up phase for your new business is writing a small business plan.
Business Planning is one of the most important, but frequently overlooked, or poorly done management tasks of anyone starting or managing a small business. Even though it is a lot of hard work to put together a plan, there are quite a few very good reasons for gritting your teeth and just getting on with it.
CHAPTER 10: SELLING YOUR PRODUCTS
When it comes to actually selling your soap products, you have quite a few options.
THE FINALE: NOW GO FORTH AND PROFIT
When you have managed to work your way through each of the chapters in this book, you now have a well developed model for your business and you are satisfied that you can and will make money.
You will have developed your product line, worked out where to source your soap making supplies and organised the packaging for your products.
You will have registered a business name and satisfied all of the legal requirements in your jurisdiction and you know how and where you are going to sell your soaps.
So, what are you waiting for?
