How to Start a Business Selling Perfume
Sale of perfumes is a type of home business that can be easily opened with a small start-up capital. If you have a wide circle of friends, you will not be difficult to find customers, because your friends will be happy to take your favourite fragrance as well as new.
Opening a perfume business can help you get back on the path to financial independence, but get to work on their own is only after you have completed market research and create a business plan.

Determine whether it is better to open a store or sell your perfume on the internet. It is easier to start a business on-line, but customers just prefer to see the finished product and immediately take their purchase. Thus, you may want to consider the possibility of cooperation with the local boutique, a line of perfume that you can successfully promote on-line. Then your start-up costs will be minimal.

Choose a business name and register it with the local authorities. Determine the category of your business, whether it is an individual trader partnership, corporation or limited liability company. These different business structures have different tax approaches and responsibility, so you should contact a lawyer and perhaps an accountant to determine what business structure will be right for you and your business.

Print out business cards and flyers and advertise your perfume on the internet. You can place advertisements in the local paper, social networks or you can get assistance from any special service. Visit the local beauty salons, and give the visitors details about your finished product’s attributes and qualities.
