"Fruit Toffees Business": How to Get Started

---

Candies will always be a delicacy with huge demands, especially in the massive children market. With their natural sweetness, fruits can easily be made into fruit toffees and candies, making it an easy ingredient to make your own candies as a home-based business.

A toffee is made from a fruit pulp combined with milk powders and sugars. Fruit toffees, with less artificial flavors, are perceived as healthier, bringing high demands from today's increasingly health-conscious market.

With the rise of online e-commerce as the main pillar of how we buy and sell things, selling your product will also be easier than ever, and you can make this business totally home-based and sell your products online.

Interested to start the fruit candy business?
Here are a few things to help get you started:

---

1. Startup Investment
By making this business home-based, you can eliminate the cost needed to rent a place. Necessary investments will go to equipment like steam kettles, batch formers, toffee cup and wrap machines, drier, pulping machines, etc. You can generally start with around $20,000-$50,000, depending on your scale.

For ingredients, you will need to stock up on materials like glucose, sugar, milk, fruit pulp, and flavor and coloring essence.

2. The Process
The toffee making process can be a little bit complicated. However, in essence, it will be started by extracting the fruits from the pulps, and cooked together with sugar.

The cooked mixture is then spread to a thin layer before dried with a drier machine. Sunlight will also be a viable method for drying, but may not be as efficient.

The dried layer then cut into size by a toffee cutter machine before being packaged. The packaging usually utilizes a cellophane film to avoid moisture absorption.

3. License and Permit
Most locations won't require a special permit before you can engage in this business. However, some states may require a special zoning permit before you can start a business at home. Consult your local authorities to get a better information regarding required license and permit.

If you are planning to sell your product pre-packaged, you may also need a certification from the health department.

As with any food and beverages business, an insurance might be a legal necessity. Even when it's not, getting an insurance will be a good investment to protect your business from future problems.

4. Marketing
You can market your business online, either through any e-commerce platforms or by making your own website. Market your product using social media and search engine optimization to capture your target audience.

Building your brand reputation might be a challenge in the beginning. However, by steadily building your reputation, you can capture more markets and get a sustainable earning in the process.

Earning Potential

With the sales price assumption of $0.015 for each fruit candy, selling 200,000 candies a month can net you a $3,000 monthly earning, or $36,000 in a year.
