- 1). Determine which licenses and permits are necessary to own and operate a candy company. Contact the Department of Health located in your state to find out what fees those who want to start a candy company would need to pay to begin their business. Understand that since you will be offering your candy to people for a fee, you need to operate your candy company with the required licenses. You can also consider buying an established candy business which already possesses a license to conduct business in their own cooking facility.
- 2). Name your company. Choose a name for your candy company which brings to mind the image of something that is sweet and tasty to candy lovers across the globe. Hire an attorney who will aid you in setting up your business with the proper entity structure such as an Limited Liability Company, open a business bank account at a local bank, and create business cards with the name of your new company to present the appearance of a professional candy company.
- 3). Buy the required supplies. Purchase items to open your candy company such as boxes, wrap, baking trays and ingredients to include in your tasty candy creations. Go online to buy the these materials at websites such as Sugar Craft.
- 4). Cook samples of your candy for display purposes. Allow people to view the candy you have by offering samples which they can eat. Place these items at a location which is easily accessible, so all customers can try your candy before they buy it. Have candy to share with people you meet and who want to know what you do for a living.
- 5). Create a marketing plan. Develop flyers which contain your business name, contact information and any offers you are currently running to draw more customers. Offer customers free candy when they sign up for your e-mail list.
