With so many well known suppliers going out of business recently...I think i'd really think this through before venturing a whole bunch of money in to it. SoapnCandles, BNL, Wick your Wax, Scents for Soy, Longwycks, Snowtop, Jade Green Beans, Serendipities, and i'm sure i'm forgetting a few but those are just off the top of my head. I know they all stated other reasons for getting out of the business but if the money were there and plentiful...i'm sure they'd still be around. The smart thing to do would be to build up a clientele first, either through monthly group buys (helps build up your stock as well) or even ebay or etsy. Kathy from ICS originally started on Ebay and once she build up a steady flow of clients...opened her own website and the rest is history. I think i'd try dipping a toe in the water before taking a full dive....you definitely don't want to be taking a belly flop anytime soon!
