How to open a soap making business?

In the West, as a business, handmade soap is popular. In Russia, the direction is only developing, so you can take a place "under the sun" without tough competition. Release on a large scale began 3-4 years ago, in many regions the niche is still free.

One of the arguments in favor of the business is the ability to produce soap at home or in a small workshop. You only need a gas or electric stove for cooking. The process does not require special knowledge, long preparation.

In order for the business to develop faster, it is better to arrange the release according to a plan drawn up in advance.

Equipment

To make soap at home, you need:

• Scales for liquids. Do not buy mechanical ones - they have too high an error.
• Container for cooking.
• Forms.
• Thermometer.
• Grater for soap base.
• Pipettes.
• Spatulas for mixing.
• Scoop.
• Fridge.

Glass, plastic and stainless steel pans are suitable as containers. You should not use dishes made of wood and aluminum, as the alkaline solution reacts with them.

As the customer base develops, the business expands and the use of manual labor decreases, it makes sense to modernize the process.

The technological line for the manufacture of soap consists of:

• mixer;
• mills;
• molding machines;
• stamping machine;
• refrigeration equipment;
• cutting machine.

Chinese manufacturers offer a lot of suitable equipment for the job at modest prices.

Production of exotic soap: technology

There are 2 technologies:

• Cold. The soap mass is thoroughly mixed with essential oils, decoctions, honey, and other components. Then it is poured into molds, hardens for 2-4 days. The frozen whole piece is cut into pieces, left to “ripen” for a certain time (from a month to a year, depending on the variety).
• Hot. The best technique for increasing profitability. The soap mass is slowly heated, constantly mixed, due to which the saponification reaction is accelerated. After a few hours, additional components are added to the mixture, it is poured into molds. The frozen mass is cut, it acquires its final consistency within 2 weeks.

Both technologies for the production of soap are similar. Only the composition and proportions of the ingredients for the base change.

Staff

At the stage of promotion, all the work can be done independently. This will avoid losses if the products are not in demand. Then you will need a production and storage room, special equipment, personnel.

The expansion will require from 5 workers:

• Cooker. Leads the process and is responsible for the result.
• Assistant. Performs secondary operations.
• Packer. Packing finished products.
• Designer. Develops the appearance, logo. It is not necessary to keep it in the state, you can use third-party services. Or design your own.
• Sales Manager. Conducts advertising campaigns, wins the trust of the audience.

Raw material

In addition to auxiliary products (cellophane, gift paper, ribbons, ropes), you need to purchase raw materials for making handmade soap. By the way, creative packaging is an important detail in product promotion. It must be transparent.

The following are used as raw materials:

• Soap base. Transparent or white, consists of fatty acids, glycerin. Usually sold by weight. There is also a liquid base for the manufacture of liquid soaps, gels, shampoos.
• Oils. Protects the skin from dehydration and irritation. Olive, coconut, jojoba oils are common.
• Ethers. They serve as fragrances. endow soap useful properties. Citrus, lavender, mint, equilipt, patchouli, ylang-ylang, tea tree are popular. Each oil is a natural antiseptic, protects against rashes on the face. The greatest difficulty is the dosage and fixation of the aroma of essential oils.
• Dyes. Allows you to create a bright or multi-color soap. There are many dyes on the market, so the creative process is only limited by your imagination. The best way- dyes of natural origin. They are harmless. Products from natural products are in special demand.
• Fillers. These are ingredients for gentle gommage, scrubbing additives (ground apricot pits, ground coffee beans, raspberry seeds, fruit and berry fiber, synthetic abrasives). They also put dried herbs, gelatin.
• Perfumes. With the help of essential oils, you can achieve a magical aroma, but this is not enough. Flavorings will make the smell more saturated, help create a product with the aroma of cake, fruit, sweets.

Marketing

It is more profitable to sell products on the Internet. You need to create groups in social networks, your own website, place ads on women's forums and thematic sites. A good effect is brought by sales through Instagram. The image plays an important role. Do bright photos is the first thing to be noticed potential clients. Do not skimp on the description of the product, write down the composition, the benefits of each component and the benefits of the product (natural ingredients, anti-allergic, unusual design).

How to make homemade soap

Step 1

Prepare all the necessary components in advance: dyes, oils, fillers, and so on. Cut the soap base into small cubes and melt it in a water bath. Make sure that the substrate temperature does not rise above 60 °C. Otherwise, bubbles will form in the soap, and its quality will deteriorate.

Step 2

When the soap base is completely melted, add any base oil you like, dye and one teaspoon of filler, for example, ground, to it. In this case, coffee will act as a dye and give the product a deep chocolate shade.

If you are working with several layers, then when pouring a new one, do not forget to sprinkle the previous one with alcohol and slightly scratch its surface for better adhesion of the layers. The surface of the soap can be decorated with whole coffee beans.

Acquisition ready business with plan and work under famous brand seems to be a more attractive solution, especially given the popularity of free franchises of the handmade soap business. However, in practice, most potential franchisees (Tsarskoye Selo Soap Manufactory, Soap Treasure Shop, Riga Soap Manufactory, MyloFF) are nothing more than ordinary product suppliers who enter into a standard supply contract with partners.

Support and training in the rules of doing business in such cases is offered in a free consultative form, without providing instructions, technologies, methods, and most importantly guarantees that the original franchise agreement provides. This means that you will still need to develop a business plan and solve organizational problems yourself.

Handmade soap business plan

If you want to bring a unique product to the market, you need to learn how to make soap yourself. Special education is not required for this. Any creative person can learn the skill. You can start working at home (in the kitchen) with a minimum range of finished products. Further, when the customer base is built up, you can expand your business by opening a small workshop and training hired staff.

Necessary start-up capital to start work consists of the cost of purchasing equipment, raw materials, payment utilities and product advertising. If it is supposed retail soap at your own point of sale, you should add the rent of the premises and the cost of branding and furniture (racks, counters).

Equipment for the production of handmade soap

The technology of making soap at home involves the use of a ready-made soap base (glycerin and fatty acids), which is melted and mixed with various fillers (scrubs, oils), flavors ( essential oils) and dyes. At home, an ordinary stove and a set of dishes (preferably stainless steel) are suitable for this procedure:

• pots and bowls of various sizes- up to 40 dollars;
• measuring spoons- up to 10 dollars;
• measuring cup (ladle) with spout- up to 10 dollars;
• knife and grater for cutting and grinding soap- up to 8 dollars;
• beaters for whisking- 1 dollar;
• mortar for grinding vegetable fillers- about 15 dollars;
• hand sprayer for oils- up to 10 dollars;
• spatula and skimmer- up to 5 dollars;
• watering can- 1 dollar.

In addition, you will need:

• Silicone molds for soap making or casting(you can use baking molds) - from $ 5 for 1 mold.
• Scales with the ability to weigh up to 1 kg or more, with an accuracy of 1 gram- from 5 dollars.
• Cooking thermometer for tracking temperature conditions - from 4 dollars.
• White plain towels- from 4 dollars for 1 pc.
• Protective clothing, goggles and gloves- from 3 dollars.

Thus, the cost of equipment and inventory is from just $106.

Important! Do not use utensils used in cooking, and therefore a separate set is required.

Calculation of raw materials and production volume

The actual consumption of ingredients for the preparation of the final product depends on the recipe and technology used. You can determine the exact calculation by making test samples. On average, for the production of finished soap, the following ingredients will be required:

• Soap base- retail price of raw materials from 4 dollars per kilogram.
• Oils for moisturizing- base oils (almond, grape) used in aromatherapy and for the preparation of massage oils are usually used. The cost of 100 ml of oil is from 2 dollars.
• Essential oils and fragrances- The cost varies depending on the type of oil. For example, orange can be bought from 50 US cents per 10 ml, and jasmine from $1.5. Special flavors can also be used, the price of which is from $ 1 per 10 ml.
• Soap dyes- can be liquid and powder. The retail price of the material is from 80 US cents per 10 ml or 5 grams.
• Glitters and pearls- decorative components that give the soap brightness and shine. The cost of raw materials is from 90 cents for 10 grams of glitter or 5 grams of mother-of-pearl.
• Fillers- Scrubbing components (pumice powder, almond shell, strawberry seeds, lavender flowers). Retail price from 30 US cents per 10 grams.

Thus, to make soap from scratch (1 kilogram), you only need 9 dollars. The retail price of a finished piece (100 grams) starts at $2. Thus, your income will be 20 dollars or at least 11 dollars of net profit.

Time costs for the production of soap at home depend on the chosen technology of soap making. There are three main ways:

• Cold- the process of soap making and mixing with additives takes from 1 hour per cycle. On the other hand, such soap will be ready for sale and use only after 1-1.5 months, since according to technology it will need to go through the maturation process.
• Hot- the cooking process is about 3-5 hours, but it will be ready for use in a day. On the other hand, to improve the quality of the product prepared in this way, the masters recommend leaving the soap to ripen for at least 7 days.
• Combined (cold-hot)- the cooking process takes only 2 hours per cycle, and the ripening time is reduced to 2 weeks.

This means that if your equipment allows you to prepare 1 kilogram of soap per cycle, you, depending on the technology, will be able to produce from 2 to 8 kg of product during the day. When loaded into one standard working week 40 hours, per month you will be able to independently produce from 40 to 160 kilograms of soap. The potential profit that such a homemade handmade soap business can provide will be from $440 to $1,760 per month.

You should also consider the cost of packaging. It can be ordinary transparent film, customized plastic or carton boxes, fabric bags and other types of decorative packaging.

Branding and increasing brand awareness will allow you to display home-based business handmade soap to a new level, increase customer loyalty to your brand, expand client base and significantly increase income.

Premises and staff

If you are planning small volumes of up to 100 kilograms of soap per month, you can organize work at home. But it should be borne in mind that the finished product must be stored somewhere. For large volumes, you will need a separate room, consisting of at least three rooms:

1. soap production shop;
2. warehouse of raw materials;
3. finished goods warehouse.

According to the legislation, the premises for the production of soap must be located outside the area of ​​\u200b\u200bresidential buildings and comply with fire safety standards. Also, it must contain communications and a plumbing unit.

A home business in the manufacture of handmade soap can be organized together with relatives or like-minded friends. But if you want to open your own point of sale and achieve a high turnover, you will need the professional help of the following specialists:

• Accountant- he can be invited on an outsourcing basis to resolve issues related to the preparation of tax documentation and the maintenance of general accounting of the enterprise.
• Driver (courier)- necessary for the delivery of goods to stores or direct customers.
• Designer- you can come up with a design yourself, or you can only deal with sales, shifting tasks to a professional designer.
• soap makers- with large volumes of production, you will need 1-2 soap makers on an ongoing basis.

Ways to sell products

An effective handmade soap business can cover several areas of product sales at once. These can be the following ways:

• Own online store. It will be necessary to invest from 500 dollars in the creation and promotion.
• Retail point of sale. The most effective is the opening of a retail outlet in a crowded place (SEC). The rental price depends on the city and the location of the shopping center.
• Selling through social networks. Suitable for small volume production, as well as for craftsmen working on order. For big business, social networks can be used as a promotional tool to attract customers to a retail and online store.
• Wholesale deliveries to cosmetics stores for sale. In this case, you will have to reduce the cost of selling soap, but at the same time you will be spared the need to conduct advertising campaign(see How to properly advertise a product: basics, examples).
• Selling through dedicated websites. With small volumes, you can sell goods on ad sites (Avito, OLX, UBU.ru), as well as on resources for craftsmen of handicrafts (Fair of Masters, hand-made.ru, fintiflu.com).

An additional promotional tool can be a decorative packaging of your soap. It should match the status of handmade products and attract the attention of buyers, especially if you are selling at a retail outlet.

It should be understood that advertising of handmade soap must correspond to its quality. When you advertise natural ingredients and health benefits to your customers, you must ensure that safe ingredients are used. Otherwise, if a fraud is discovered, you will lose your reputation and may even end up in court.

Legalization of activities and permits

Without registering with the tax authorities build efficient business for the production of handmade soap is difficult, because you will not be able to actively advertise, open outlets and do direct deliveries. Working in the shade is possible only with small private orders.

The most suitable forms entrepreneurial activity for such a business, an individual entrepreneur (FOP) or LLC, while it is best to choose simplified forms of taxation on net profit (income minus expenses). OKVED codes for this area of ​​activity (RF and Ukraine):

• 41 Manufacture of soap and detergents»;
• 42 "Manufacture of cosmetic soap";
• 92 "Packaging activities";
• 75 "Retail sale of cosmetics and personal hygiene products in specialized stores" (select appropriate subsections).

in Russia handmade soap certification is voluntary. However, a mandatory declaration of conformity is required, which confirms the quality of the product. Without this document, your product cannot be sold in stores. As normative documents for the manufacture of products, you can use GOST or TU. A declaration is obtained for each type of product (soap recipe), which makes the process very difficult for those who like to experiment with new ideas. To avoid such problems, you can implement your soap as souvenir products- in this case, obtaining certificates is not required. However, if you plan to hand over the goods for sale, stores may refuse you such registration.

In Ukraine in order to legalize the activity of soap production, it is necessary to develop technical specifications and obtain the conclusion of the SES. At the same time, it is not allowed by law to make soap at home and you will need to organize a full-fledged workshop (to save on rent, it can be taken out to suburban area). Further, a certificate is obtained for each type of product. But even in this case, there is an easier way out - obtaining quality certificates for product components and providing them to customers. They can be requested from the consumables dealer.

If you want to create a recognizable brand, you must also register a trademark, which will subsequently give you the opportunity not only to gain a foothold in the market, but also to begin expanding the network by selling a franchise.

In practice, handmade soap as a business has one significant problem - the long-term accumulation of regular customers. This is due to the specifics of the type of product itself, which is forced to compete with cheaper factory products. That is why many masters stop their activity already in the first months, but if you are engaged in product improvement and learning how to sell and run a business, you will undoubtedly achieve success.
