Step#1
Apply for a sellers ID# so that you will not have to pay sales tax on products sold by non-profit organizations.
Step #2
If you’re looking to start a candle fund raising business, click here. You can always add more products to your fund raising business in the future, but candles are always a good place to start. You’ll need to sign up for the companies wholesale program in order to make a profit on all sales made through your fund raisers. Each fund raising group will sell, for example, the 16oz. jars for $20 each. The organization will be given $4 to $6 per jar candle and your fund raising business will keep the remaining profit, less the $9.50 wholesale price of each jar.
What is the profit potential of your candle fund raising business?
The potential for a full-time income working from home is huge with fund raising. Lets say every three months you help just 5 organizations raise money for their cause. Each organization has 20 participants who sell just 20 jar candles each. So, that’s 400 jar candles sold per organization. Now, multiply that by 5 groups. You have a total of 2,000 candles sold in the course of just three months. And, let’s say you give each organization $6 per jar candle, which leaves you with $4.50 per candle. Now, multiply $4.50 by 2,000 and you get a profit of $9,000 over the course of three months. That’s $36,000 a year! And, how much selling did you have to do? None! You simply help each organization have a successful fundraiser by providing catalogs, order forms, and any necessary training.

Step #4
Get started the right way! You can’t start a home business without investing time and money your first month. Most often, the larger the investment, the faster the income will start coming in. You’ll want to have catalogs, business cards, and products on hand to bring to your meetings to show each fund raising committee. The most cost effective way to get started (if you’re planning on being a successful business owner) is to purchase a starter package that includes catalogs and a sample of all products offered through your fund raiser. And, the best way to continue in your business, is to be set-up on an auto-ship program that will send you a product package each month to maintain your stock, as most organizations will be purchasing products through you on a regular basis.
Step #5
Be open to retail sales! Through every fund raiser, you will begin to develop a retail customer base. Make sure to have labels on all of your products you send out so that every consumer can re-order through your online retail store or directly through you.
Step #6
Get started! If you have the name of your fund raising business, a sales tax ID#, the knowledge, and a passion to help organizations raise funds, then you’re ready to start your own home based fund raising business.
You’ll want to sign up for the auto-ship program as a distributor with the Fast Start Package to get your business going right away. Then, while you’re waiting for your starter package to arrive, start making calls to local non-profits and set up meetings to discuss their annual fund raiser. You may also want to send out information by mail or post an ad in your local newspaper. Start booking fund raisers immediately in order to get your business going right away. Working from home is fun, but it’s still business and it’s still work. So, keep things professional and don’t be sloppy. Wear professional attire when you go to meetings, get professional looking business cards through the company or have them designed by a professional, purchase your own domain name with e-mail, and get a 1-800 number. These are all things you can do to let your clients know you are a professional and you know exactly what you’re doing.
