How to Start a Candle Business From Home


Turn your candle passion into a profitable business! Here is how to start a candle business from the comfort of your home.

We all like our homes to smell nice, and one way to accomplish that is by lighting a candle. I don’t know about you, but I love how certain scents can elevate your mood and overall home aesthetic. 

Don’t you love the autumn season candle scents like baked apple cinnamon? Or even the soft floral scents for the spring and summer? Seasonal scents can enhance your home or make your gathering feel more festive.

I love that candles can be more than just a product; they can make you feel a certain emotion, bring back a memory, and make the house smell great all at the same time. 

If you are searching for a business to start and have a passion for scents and making people fall in love with all the delicious smells you can create with candles, then a candle business might just be for you!
