Beginner friendly: Moderate

Starting a candle making business can be relatively easy for beginners due to the low barrier to entry. With simple equipment like wax, fragrance oils, wicks, and containers, beginners can start creating candles at home. Online resources like YouTube tutorials and forums provide guidance on candle making techniques. Selling candles can be done through online marketplaces or at local craft fairs. The setup costs range from $50 to $200 for basic supplies. Profit can be seen within 2 weeks of starting, depending on sales volume. I'd rate it a 2 because while it doesn't require specialized skills, beginners need to learn about different wax types, fragrances, and marketing strategies to be successful.
