Supplement companies are everywhere today, from your average every-day Vitamin Store - health food store or herbal market...there are always opportunities for Companies to sell/retail their Products. To start a supplement business though - you need resources. You also need the tools to start that Business. This guide aims to inform in a simplistic manner those who wish to start a Supplement Business, how to do so and where to find the tools to start the business.
OTHER NOTES: Some states/Regions like Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA have a unique & specific Page to Register Business/New Proprietor. It is necessary in this case - to officially register it BOTH on that page and still fill out the necessary IRS/Labor Forms.
In the case of the state of New York, you should also check out the NY-labor page for information on how to create an Employee-rich business.

The Tools!
- For any supplement Company - a capsule maker/capsule machine is necessary. There is one that sells for about $19 on Top Extracts (VIP Link Here). If you buy that - that will be a tremendous help and save you a trip to some other random store.
- Bulk Supplies/Herbs: You need BULK amounts of the herb or ingredient you'd like to put in the capsules. Some websites that sell Bulk Supplements include Bulk Supplements, Liftmode, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs (for L-Dopa extract).
- Labels/Ingredient Slips: For ANY supplement business; labels are necessary. Especially FDA-compliant labels and in *most cases* you DON'T want to mention that the product is indicated for any health condition. If you do this - you are likely to face scrutiny and possibly even legal repercussions - as the Supplement Act in accordance with the FDA's rules/guidelines states that this is an illegitimate and misleading practice and thus should not be done [1].
- Read these guidelines from the FDA before starting a Supplement Company. If you thoroughly read the points outlined on their page; from start to Finish - you should not have any issue creating an FDA-compliant & Registered facility.
- Read Supplement Company 101 - which is purchasable on Amazon for only $2.99. Also consider purchasing/reading How to Set Up An Herbal Supplement Company (2019).
Deciding the NAME & LABEL of the Company
- You have to choose a UNIQUE, non-taken name - so that there is no confusion with ANY other supplement company/vitamin business.
- BE CREATIVE: Choose a name that is enticing to Customers - and that accurately DESCRIBES the nature of the Products!
- Once you do this - you should decide a Graphic/Logo for the Company - you can hire a Logo Creator - HERE. You could also Draw/Paint your own label and then Scan it in. Then you could easily move the self-made label to the Website after uploading to your Computer.
- You should decide WHICH audience you want to target and that should also correspond to the NAME & Label of the Company.
- Inconsistencies are Jeopardizing - and so is failure to comply with "Decent" names for Companies. In other words - if you are marketing sex products; don't choose names like "Ultimate Fucking Products" or "XXX Supplements for Nudists". Besides, those names are far too obvious and would create disturbing ideas in most peoples heads.
Renting Free Space/Buildings/Infrastructure
Although you can certainly operate your Supplement Business from HOME - this is unlikely to be feasible for everyone. Not just due to limited house size, but eventually, when the Company expands - there are two reasons why an actual property with an Address is necessary.
1.) The amount of Customers will create demand that exceeds the space of a Normal House; additional equipment may have to be purchased to accommodate such need.
2.) Customers will likely want a Physical Location; an actual Storefront that they can go to in order to freely view the Products available.
With shipping - having a warehouse or other manufacturing/production facility may be necessary if the Company grows exponentially.
Thus, renting space for the Company is almost ALWAYS necessary at some point in the Game. Besides, when registering a Business in the USA or Canada - a verifiable Address should be put on the form [2] [3].
Registering an American Business & Follow-Up
- Go to this page to file an Application to officially Register a Business in the USA.
- Remember to obtain an Employer Identification number from the IRS; if applicable, as in other Employee's besides the Sole Proprietor/Founder exist and perform paid tasks.
- As shown in This Guide - registering a Business should also entail other steps such as obtaining a license; depending on the types of Supplements being offered and the qualifications of the person behind the Business!
- You should specify the TYPE of Business and make sure that the form you fill out corresponds to that type of Business; so for a Limited Partnership or LLC - this form should be used.
- To get a Trademark & to protect the NAME/BRAND you Represent you should Read Carefully the Page of the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
In the case of the state of New York, you should also check out the NY-labor page for information on how to create an Employee-rich business.
Website/Domain Registration & Set-Up
***A list of Registrars is publicly available - in cases where you have trouble finding an appropriate domain/WebPage provider.
