If you already have a source of inventory and are merely looking for an outlet...eBay is the way to go. If you have tons of the stuff and are looking for someone with savvy to help you unload, I believe I could be of assistance. I have over 6 years experience selling products on eBay and am always looking for inventory. Pick my answer as the best and I'll know you are serious. Good Luck!
I can suggest: for inspiration: www.entrepreneur.com. For expanding business: www.alibaba.com.
Start at the beginning. research and after that just go out there and walk up to the first person and start Think of a no as thebeginning to getting a yes. Research the location and the law for liscences etc.
If you're talking about making your own stuff, I would suggest you do what 90% of people DON'T do and that's go through the FDA regs before you even start trying to develop products.
Where to start???First you have to be able to make a first rate product and know how to make it cheaply enough to be profitable. Research the market in your area as you might find that making a profit in this type if industry is next to impossible (I did). Also know that there are soaping communities online that you need to research and find out what others are doing, but just remember that different parts of the country are more successful than other. Another thing is that soaping is NOT cheap as to make a good product you can't cut corners and the ingredients and shipping are expensive. Also soaping is hard work. And one other consideration, check your local liability laws as the wrong formula and even package label listing can open you up to various law suits.





Bottom line where to start??? RESEARCH RESEARCH REASEARCH.
You can start by demonstrating a shower gel's effects on your skin in the shower with me.
good luck it looks like you got some great suggestions
Go Internet to do research. You should able to find a lot of information and strategies (like location) how to do.





It is no harm starting a business and it is ok to get failure and rejection.





There is a saying, ';A good start half the battle';.


1. First thing to do is the decision to start, which I think this is the first major psycological hurdle.


2. Test your idea


3. Build your business model using the ';whole brain';


4. Run in Bootstrap mode (minimise start up costs)


5. Build your team


6. Test business soundness





Now than you actually start...
