Ditto, what Stella & Noodle said above. I was thinking the same thing when I saw how little you know about the candle business. Not trying to be mean or put you down, but it would be a waste of your money to invest in a business you know little of. There are a lot of candle and fragrance suppliers that have been around a long time that have gone out of business due to the economy. It would probably be a good idea to take advantage of the slow economy to learn everything there is to making candles, not to mention the tremendous amount of money it will cost you while you are learning. It is a lot of fun, hard work, time consuming and expensive, but if after all this hard work you still want to open your own business then you will feel confident doing so and I wish you luck and success.
