Resources for Starting a Supplement Company 2019 (How to Make a Vitamin Company for Beginners 2019)

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.


The Tools


  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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].
  4. 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.
  5. 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

  1. You have to choose a UNIQUE, non-taken name - so that there is no confusion with ANY other supplement company/vitamin business. 
  2. BE CREATIVE: Choose a name that is enticing to Customers - and that accurately DESCRIBES the nature of the Products!
  3. 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.
  4. You should decide WHICH audience you want to target and that should also correspond to the NAME & Label of the Company.
  5. 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

  1. Go to this page to file an Application to officially Register a Business in the USA.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. To get a Trademark & to protect the NAME/BRAND you Represent you should Read Carefully the Page of the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
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.


Website/Domain Registration & Set-Up

***A list of Registrars is publicly available - in cases where you have trouble finding an appropriate domain/WebPage provider.
