hello there everyone....
My name is Mary and i've been a bit of lurker in these parts (and not a very active one at that ) but i kind of need advice from you guys.
Recently ive been asked if i want to go into large scale production of my soaps so as to sell wholesale and I was wondering among other things how would i go about protecting my recipe and keeping it secret.
I would need from atleast another person full time physically helping me make this large sized batches as i do have a day job (there goes method) and even if i master batched oils it would not be difficult to figure out ratios based on the days batch output compared to days end closing stock of ingredients used.(there goes percentages)
I am sure trust is important between business partners but it doesn't hurt to protect oneself either.
Any ideas or thought not just to the above question but to things i might have to consider in general going into this kind of a venture would be highly valued?
I am checking the internet simultaneously for information, but your valuable knowledge and experience is soooooo important too and hope you wouldnt mind sharing a few pointers....or places i can look for such information etc
Thanks in advance!!
