Does anyone know of a supplier that carries candle tins that has a pour spout. I would like to use this type of tin for a massage candle.
Thanks!

Lorraine Pierce-LAminerals.com replied to the discussion 'Early stages of a Business'"It can be a bit overwhelming in the start up stages. Having a notebook with clearly laid out steps and "to dos" is essential.
If you have a name idea check to see if it's trademarked, then check for domain availability if you plan to…"
Nicole Harris replied to the discussion 'Early stages of a Business'"Theresa,

I've been "toying" around with the idea starting my own business for the last 5 years and I have decided to stop "thinking" about starting a business, but actually starting a business. I've experimented with several products, but have not determined my product line. I've been researching and started taking dM courses on starting a business. Is it a best practice to start registering for a business name, preparing a business plan, etc, without defining your product line? So far, my family…See More

- Hi Nicole,
I spoke to someone over the phone at the business licence office and he said I'm not allowed to manufacture at home. I just haven't had the time to go into the office to speak to someone properly because 'manufacture' covers a wide range of things and that's why I wanted to find out if any body else had any difficulty, or if I was just misinformed. I will be working on that in the next week or 2 and will let you know how it goes.

I will, and my initial inquiries into getting a business license are proving to be difficult since I live in an area zoned residential. Have you applied for a business license yet? I'm grateful for any feedback.

Welcome to the network. I admire people such as yourself who have been doing a job for so long and decide to just go for it and make a change. My mom did the same thing 10 years ago and hasn't looked back! It can be done and with some help and all of the encouragement and inspiration you'll find here, you too can do it!
Thanks for the friend request and I wish you all the best in your new pursuits!

- Hello! I am very excited to be a member of this wonderful network. I've been researching/experimenting with making bath and body products for the last 5 years. My career has been in the Information Technology Business for the last 23 years. I'm currently the Deputy Director / Deputy Chief Information Officer for a Government Agency. Although I love my job, my real passion is in the bath and body business. I am looking forward to networking with the professionals in this field so that I can pursue my passion. I'm looking forward to networking with you all.
