Soap Business Boot Camp SILVER

The Silver Package is the most popular version of my Soap & Skincare Business Boot Camp. It includes everything from the Gold Package, minus the 1 hour Zoom session.

Designed for UK soap and skincare makers who want to get their business set up properly – legally and strategically – this course walks you through everything you need to think about to get started, with no faff and no guesswork.

If you’ve found yourself falling down Google rabbit holes or stuck knowing what you should do but not how, this Boot Camp is going to change that. You’ll get clear, step by step guidance, especially around legal compliance, and templates to speed things up, avoid overwhelm and get things done properly.

This is an online, self-paced course. You can start anytime and work through the content at your own speed – whether that’s over a few weeks or a few months. You’ll get instant access when you purchase and can rewatch the videos whenever you like.

What’s included

Part 1 Business Setup Essentials

This part helps you set up your business so it all works together - it is the bit which can set you apart and ensure everything works together as a kind of ecosystem and also sets you up for business growth in the future.

• Nailing your niche with tools to help you define yours.
• Branding introduction and things to think about.
• Choosing your product range to align with your niche and appeal to your idea customer.
• Packaging ideas, including a Canva soap label template and tutorial.
• Pricing for profit and wholesale, with spreadsheets to work out costs and track stock.
• Choosing the right sales channels: in person, Etsy, your own website or wholesale.
• Social media strategy and 50 templates to get you started. (please note, social media is an everchanging concept and not one that I am an expert in)
• SEO basics for your website.

• Labelling rules and demos, including how to design your own in Canva.
• Allergen calculations, examples, and spreadsheet tool.

All videos come with captions, making the course fully accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community.

Plus

• Lifetime access (minimum 12 months guaranteed).
• A private Facebook support group for general questions and peer support – please note this is not a 1:1 mentoring space.
• Your 1-hour 1:1 Zoom call with me, available to book any time within 6 months of purchase.
  

This course is ideal for

• UK-based soap and skincare makers who already know how to make but are stuck on the business and legal side.
  
• Anyone who wants to avoid hours of research and do things properly from the start – with confidence.
  
• Makers ready to get serious and build a brand, not just sell the odd bar to friends and family.
  
• People who want to get the foundations right, so they can grow and sell both online and wholesale.

This course is not for

• Anyone outside the UK – the legislation is specific to the UK, and I can’t advise on EU or other international regulations.
  
• Beginners who haven’t yet learned how to make soap or skincare products – the course assumes you’re already confident with that side.
  
• Makers just dabbling or selling casually – this course is for those serious about creating a proper business.
  
• Those looking for ongoing mentoring – there’s no personal coaching included, but you do get group support via Facebook.

Is this a live course?

No – it’s self-paced and ready to start whenever you are. Go through it at your own speed and revisit modules any time.

How long do I have access?

You’ll have lifetime access for as long as my business is running, with a guaranteed minimum of 12 months.

What if I need more help?

Gold includes a 1-hour Zoom with me – you can book it anytime in your first 6 months. The Facebook group is also there for questions and peer support. If you need additional 1 to 1 help I am always available to book time with via a Pick My Brains session.

Will I learn how to make products?

No – this course assumes you already know how to make soap and/or skincare. It focuses on the business and compliance side.

Can I upgrade later if I choose Bronze or Silver?

Yes – just drop me a message and I’ll sort it for you.
