Build Your Candle Business: Business Ready™

Build Your Candle Business: Business Ready™
Overview
Curriculum

Build Your Candle Business: Business Ready™ is Course 3 in the 6-course candle-making pathway, created for makers who are ready to turn confident candle-making skills into a practical business foundation. Through five focused modules—1. Products & Collections, 2. Unit Costs, Pricing & Profit, 3. Inventory, Orders, Shipping & Policies, 4. Safety, Insurance, Records & Local Requirements, and 5. Business Ready™ Plan—you will define a focused starter product line with clear formats, scents, sizes, variations, collections, and product specifications. You will calculate true unit costs across materials, packaging, labor, waste, and fees; set profitable retail prices and wholesale-ready pricing using margin targets; and create simple systems for inventory, orders, fulfillment, shipping, processing, returns, exchanges, and damaged-order policies.

You will also build essential business safeguards by understanding product safety, labels, insurance, local business requirements, and batch, testing, sales, and expense recordkeeping. In the hands-on Business Ready™ Plan module, you will create your actual starter business plan for your portfolio, defining your real offers, collections, costs, prices, inventory approach, fulfillment process, policies, and compliance checklist. This course focuses strictly on the operational fundamentals needed to become business ready; branding, website building, and marketing are intentionally covered in later courses.
