Who is it NOT for?
Anyone not in the UK. The rules around selling skincare products vary so much from country to country. Whilst the legislation we are governed by also applies to the EU I am also well aware that some EU countries have additional requirements such as manufacturing space away from domestic kitchens and I am not able to comment on these.
This Boot Camp is not for beginner makers, I have other courses for learning to make products and it is not covered in this course at all. There is an expectation that you are a competant maker and ready to step it up to the next level.
It does not cover how to do all the technical aspects, ie setting up a website.
What Boot Camp DOES do is short cut the length of time it will take to get your business off the ground. No Google rabbit holes. Just clear instructions. You will still have to put the work in, I cannot do that for you and there will be days when you feel you are taking 1 step forwards and 2 back. Starting any business is always a challenge but it is all doable.
