Hi I have a background in science and some ideas about how to make new shampoos and shower gels. A competitive market I know. I plan to start small scale by making them in my basement. Do I need a license to do this? How would I get started?
Thanks
You might need a license however I am not sure because it depends on your state. You can find specific business licenses and permits at this website: http://business.gov/register/licenses-and-permits. If you get approved to sell them from your basement I would start selling them on a website and trying to get help from your friends and family to promote them. Try offering free samples to get your name out and run promotional giveaways through your website and using social networks to promote the giveaways. It will help you gain brand recognition and help you get more business. If you are able to produce in large masses, try contact different corporations and try to sell your product to them. Make sure you have a good business plan before you do anything that can help you keep track of your business information and goals.
