Hi

Hi

My girlfriend and I are looking at starting our own business in candles and soaps (all handmade). This site seems to have a lot of information so should be an interesting read.

We're looking at starting part time selling via carboots/country fairs/etc and on the internet, with a view to open up a retail outlet in the very near future.

Thanks

Karl

Hope I can be of help at any time,
