Starting and Running a Soap Business in Australia - Interview with George from Dawn Organics, Sydney

My pal George from Dawn Organics and I had a great little chat about his experience starting and running his handmade soap business in Australia. George and I were both receiving a number of questions and requests from our audience on this subject (Bhoop, this is for you!), so we thought we'd get together via Zoom and share what we know. There is obviously a lot more to understand and research before you start a soap business in Australia or anywhere else in the world, but as a starting point, we cover the following topics in the video: ⭐ What inspired George to start Dawn Organics ⭐ Some of the early challenges ⭐ Building confidence in the face of doubts and doubters ⭐ Finding your place in a crowded/competitive market ⭐ Finding the information you need to start a registered soap business ⭐ Adding interest and appeal to your products ⭐ Choosing your path: markets, retail or wholesale ⭐ The impact of Covid ⭐ Why we love soap making as a life skill ⭐ Registrations, insurance, duty of care ⭐ Using excel or paper notes to manage pricing, stock levels etc. ⭐ Self-care and sustainability ⭐ George's favourite and most challenging soaps. Below are the links discussed in the video (and more!). Please note that these links refer only to the Australian soap making/business context. If you would like to look into requirements for your own country, please search that information online or ask your local business authority for advice. Facebook groups for soap makers are an excellent place to learn what is needed in different places, I have listed the Australian group I recommend and one international soap making group below. For USA soap makers, I would start here https://www.soapguild.org/ George's business website https://www.dawnorganics.com.au/ Dawn Organics on Youtube    / dawnorganics   Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (you need to be registered with AICIS to sell soap for profit in Australia) https://www.industrialchemicals.gov.au/ Soap labelling requirements for Australia (soap is considered a cosmetic under Australian legislation) https://www.productsafety.gov.au/stan... Australian Tax Office https://www.ato.gov.au/ Australian Business Number https://business.gov.au/registrations... ASIC - Australian Business Name registrations https://asic.gov.au/for-business/regi... Australian business structures (many soap makers are sole traders for taxation purposes in Australia) https://business.gov.au/planning/busi... Australian Soap Makers Facebook Group (a wealth of great quality information in the files - you need to join the group to access)   / australiansoapmakers   Natural Soap Forum on Facebook (also a private group, but worth joining if you are interested in specialising in natural soap colourants and natural soap making generally)   / naturalsoapforum   Business Insurance These are two that George and I can recommend as a starting place. Make sure you are covered for the products you are selling, not all policies cover all kinds of soap products, eg. baby products. Biz Cover through QBE https://www.bizcover.com.au/ AUZI (has policies tailored for soap and candle makers) https://www.auzi.com/portal/soap-cand...
