From children to elders, chocolate is very much liked. At the same time, India’s name comes in the top countries in the fastest emerging markets of chocolate. According to a report, the sale of chocolates in retail markets in India increased by 13 percent between 2015 and 2016. Now in such a situation, if you have the skill to make chocolate, then what to say. Homemade chocolate is also in great demand in the market.
You will need an estimated capital of Rs 40,000 to 50,000 to buy the raw material and packaging to start this. If you want to deploy machinery for mass production, the cost can increase from two lakh to three lakh rupees. Mixing, cooking and cooling equipment will make production easier.
To prepare chocolate at home, you will need dark chocolate, milk chocolate, dry fruits, packing wrapper, bowl and chocolate making mold or designing plate. The business of making chocolate is a business related to food, so obviously you have to get a license from FSSAI for this. Apart from this, the business department of your municipal corporation will have to be contacted for registration.
Now it comes to where to sell the finished chocolate. You can sell your chocolates in bulk at retail stores. Apart from this, you can also start your own shop by marketing your chocolate and selling it. You can also sell your chocolate through your website to increase your business. Along with this, apart from your website, you can also do business by selling your chocolates through any other reputed website like Amazon, Flipkart etc.
