Early-stage Startups: What is the needed budget to start a succesful private brand like allbirds or happyskinco or snow teeth whitening.?

Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

A private label business continues to sound more and more like a lucrative venture as time goes by. Private labelling can indeed be a gold mine – if you know what you are doing. The truth is times are changing and the money you would have needed to establish a private label brand a few years ago now will not be enough. To succeed in a private labelling business, one of the most important things is an adequate capital base. For this to be attainable, you need enough money to secure a large inventory of your product, create a good brand and market it well. The reality is that not all qualified manufacturers or suppliers choose to list themselves in B2B sourcing platforms or directories, another option to find a reliable private label manufacturer is to hire a reputable sourcing agent or work on joint order with the sourcing departments of some worldwide retailers. You can therefore focus on other aspects of your business while starting out and enjoy Prime Eligibility of your product. Also, you have no inventory to call upon when there is a product shortage from the supplier, which can be very risky. This is where you are in full control of the handling of your product. You take care everything from inventory and packaging to shipping the product to the customer. With this control, you are always aware of what you have at hand, so you can avoid making false promises to customers.
