I have a friend who is into soap making.
He is presently jobless and he has a family to cater for.
He met me and we discussed on opportunities he could explore which includes farming.
We later concluded that small scale Soap production is still the most viable.

He told me everything that is needed to start which includes the following.

*PK and Soda Ash.
*Stamps for branding the soap bars.
*Soap Cutter.
*Branded cardboard boxes for packaging and supplies.
*Transportation itinerary.

We presently have no cash at hand, however I have explored the family and friends option which is not forthcoming.

So I figured out I could dispose a heir Thermocool deep freezer that is still very new and in a perfect working condition so we can raise the required working capital to start production.

However, I am still not clear on how to go about this and if it's a worthwhile risk.
Your valuable contributions will be appreciated.

It this self sustainable?

I believe so and profitable too.
According to my friend, he already started making sales with the little quantity he did when he started.

He couldn't keep up due to finances and lack of support. So I figure out he would man the production while I do the marketing and supplies.


From his experience, it's a profitable business which can be diversified into liquid soaps and even aftershaves.

What is your niche? What makes your soap different than all the other soaps.

This is a good question but was are running a small scale production outfit and not a multinational business sir.
We will be supplying mostly mallams and market women within our environment so going into nitty gritty details doesn't cut it here.
We are simply running demand and supply type of business which will be driven by a good quality product that is well branded.

Perhaps we would be exploring a coloured soap for a brighter wash.

It wouldn't be wise for me to disclosing every nitty gritty of such details online.
