of soap making business.
Soap production is a
very good window for wealth creation and employment generation. The prospect of
setting up a viable business depends much on its techno-economic survey. As one
currently in the business of soap making, a continuous research in the
techno-economic viability of soap business have proved that the demand for
household cleanliness and personal hygiene is very high and the supply is still

The market demand for
tablet/laundry soap is very high, being demanded all year round , thus the
business of laundry soap production will never loose its market nor get
saturated as long as human beings exist and expect to live clean and healthy.

the following strategy will make the product a market leader: push market

Having come this far,
let me bring in soap production program. The installed capacity of the plant,
size of tablets and production cycle per annum, allowing for holidays must be
taken into account.
The requirements for
operations includes production room or shop floor, water and power supply, raw
materials (chemicals, oils, fragrance, colors), packaging materials ( packets,
wrappers, cartons).
A production
projections of 4000 tablets of 0.15kg weight on a 300 day year is estimated at
1,200,000 tablets per annum. Start up batch materials for this out put is
estimated at N207916.8, giving a unit tablet cost of N51.979. Annual turnover
equals N60,575,040.
Selling at N60 per
tablet gives a production batch sells of
N240,000 with a gross balance of N32,083.2
Thus working on a 300
day year, annual gross profit is N 32,083.2 x 300= N9,624,960.
The profit estimate
records a steady rise in subsequent years is a sign of a good return on investment.
