Small Business Resources

Please read this description fully and contact me with any questions before purchasing.

Are you looking to start your own skincare or cosmetics brand?

You may have already started and need help to grow.

Or, maybe you want to reassure yourself that you are on the right path and get some support.

That's what this workshop is aimed at doing.

I've taken my 24 years of running businesses and created a start-up workshop to help navigate you through setting up your business and growing it to profit.

Based in the UK, I reference many UK websites and admin sites here, but the general knowledge, tips and experience will be relevant no matter what country you are in.

I spill the tea on all of my past successes and failures, all of which made the business what it is today, as well as taking you step by step through starting and growing your business.

So grab a cuppa and a notebook and pen.  By the end of this, you'll feel ready to tackle it all and grow your business in the knowledge that you can refer back to the workshop and downloadable resources at any time.

Included in this workshop:

• 2 Hours 30 minutes business video workshop presented by myself with slides, videos and imagery examples.
• A link to download 4 FREE templates to help you with your business (my Forecasting Spreadsheet, Business Plan Template, Marketing eBook and my course exclusive Income and Budget Spreadsheet with a total value of over £40)
• A PDF gateway with all links and resources mentioned in the workshop and timestamps to make it easy to navigate.
  
• Lifetime access - My guarantee that if we switch platforms or it's taken down for any reason, you will be given a new access link.

To download your files, click the download link at checkout after purchase or check your email.  The PDF downloads will be available instantly along with the workshop link.

~~~~~ IMPORTANT INFORMATION~~~READ BEFORE PURCHASE~~~~~

The ultimate 'done for you' package.

Starting a cosmetics business can be overwhelming, especially in the UK, where the administrative requirements are extensive and time-consuming. As the responsible person for your products, you must complete various documents, ensure proper labelling, and UK Cosmetics Portal notification. However, if you’re new to this process, it can be daunting, and you may not feel confident in what needs to be done or how to do it.

This is where my compliance package comes in to help.

While you will remain the Responsible Person (RP) for your products, I can handle the tedious administrative tasks, allowing you to focus on what you do best—creating your products. 

With this package, all you need to do is complete a form with the necessary information, provide a couple of documents, and within one week, I will:

• Identify and calculate any allergens in your product (if applicable).
• Prepare your product label information, ready for incorporation into your brand’s design.** Including full ingredients list in order.
• Do a courtesy claims check of your product and brand.
• Draft your Product Information File (PIF) and include a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) statement and batch record sheet in PDF format.
  
• Complete ingredient percentage CSV files for Portal with NPIS notifications where necessary.
• Report your product/s on the UK Cosmetic Portal.***

How It Works

Select Product Type - Cosmetic refers to any cosmetic product other than Cold or Hot Process soap or any product without blends of essential oils.  CP/HP Soap and any products containing blends of multiple essential oils are charged slightly higher as there are more calculations to do in order to give the ingredient ranges for the portal.

Upon purchasing this package, you will receive a download link for a form and a Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) at checkout.

Next, simply fill out the form and confidentiality agreement and send them back to me along with:

• Your CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report)
• Your logo in PNG format.
• Your stability testing data sheet.
• Proof of any claims being made for the product.
• Send a team member invite to your Portal account to the email address in the form provided.

I will then handle the preparation of your product label and PIF, and send them to you in PDF format.

Once you receive the label information, you can incorporate it into your design, either yourself or with the help of your designer. Save the final label as a JPG file and send it back to me, along with confirmation that you're satisfied with the work and approve it for upload to the portal. 

I will then complete the Cosmetic Portal notification for you and send confirmation by email when this is done.

This package covers one base product with up to 5 variants. If you require additional variants, please feel free to email for a tailored price.

Please note that I do not do compliance packages for white-label products or those purchased abroad.

THIS IS NOT A RESPONSIBLE PERSON SERVICE, THIS IS ADMIN ONLY. This package is created to the best of my knowledge. As the Responsible person of your product, it is up to you to check the information that I provide you is correct before I  upload it to the portal.  I accept no liability for the finished documents that are based on the information given to me.  You and your brand remain the responsible person at all times.  It is therefore up to you to monitor changes in regulations and update the documents if necessary.  

** If you have a label design in Canva that you'd like me to put the information into, then please send me the Canva link and I can work directly on that.

*** Only the responsible person is permitted access to their .gov portal account.  However, your account will allow you to add team members.  You will need to 'add me as a team member so that I can sign in to complete the entry on your behalf. You remain the RP, I act as an admin assistant only. This allows me access to your account. You must complete, sign and return the NDA to demonstrate that you agree to this. This is for UK portal entries only.  I do not offer EU portal submissions at this time.

In exceptionally busy periods, if wait times are going to be longer than 1 week, you will be emailed and have the option to wait or cancel your order.

For a more efficient service and to ensure the quality of the data given, I now provide PIFs only in PDF format. 

For data protection purposes, your files and completed documents will be deleted from our system after you have confirmed receipt.  Please ensure you save and back up your files when you receive them, we cannot resend them!

If you make changed to any information given after I have received it and commenced work, there may be an additional admin charge.

~~~~~ IMPORTANT INFORMATION~~~READ BEFORE PURCHASE~~~~~

Understanding how to write a cosmetic label is important, but I get that it can be overwhelming the first time.

This service includes:

• Identify and calculate any UK allergens in your product (if applicable).
• Prepare your product label information ready for incorporation into your brand’s design.**
• Provide a PDF document explaining how labels are created so that you can try it yourself next time.

Next, simply fill out the confidentiality agreement and send it back to me along with:

• Your CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report)
• Your product formula in percentages or grams.
• Any specific wording or information you want to convey.

I will then handle the preparation of your product label and send it to you in PDF and Word format.

Once you receive the label information, you can incorporate it into your design, either by yourself or with the help of your designer. 

This package covers one cosmetic product label.

Please note that I do not do labels for white-label products or those purchased abroad.

** This is a service for a PDF/Word doc of the information ONLY. If you have a label design in Canva that you'd like me to put the information into, then please send me the Canva link and I can work directly on that. 

In exceptionally busy periods, if wait times are going to be longer than 1 week, you will be emailed and have the option to wait or cancel your order.

You've got your product assessed, you've designed your labels, you are ready to launch, but one thing stands in your way... the Product Information File.  

All you want to do is spend your time creating beautiful products and selling them to your awesome customers, not sit at a computer for hours.

That's why I'm offering to help with my PIF creation service.  If you don't want to write it yourself, or start with one of the templates I offer, then this service is for you.

With my PIF creation service, you will get:

• A fully written PIF document for your chosen product delivered within 1 week in PDF format.

When you purchase download the available documents at checkout (this includes a confidentiality agreement) and send the following back to me:

• The completed Form.

• Your CPSR 
• Your product label image (png or jpg)
• Your product photo (jpg)

If you require more than the number of variants included in this listing, check my other options or email for a tailored quote.

PIFs that include variations will be created as one 'Family PIF' for that product range.

Please note that I do not complete PIFs for white-label products or those purchased abroad.

The PIF is created to the best of my knowledge.  As the Responsible person of your product, it is up to you to check the information that I provide you is correct. I accept no liability for the finished documents based on the information given to me.  You and your brand remain the responsible person at all times. After creating of the documents it is up to you as the Responsible person to keep them up to date.

~~~~READ BEFORE PURCHASE~~~~

This listing is for one product reported on the portal.

You've got your product assessed, designed your labels, completed your PIF and are ready to launch, but one thing stands in your way... the Cosmetic Portal Notification.

Submitting your products to the cosmetic portal is mandatory to sell them in the UK.  It involves answering questions to categorise your products and uploading your formulation and label.  

This process can be daunting for some, so I created this service, to take away the stress so you can concentrate on other aspects of your business.

How It Works

Select Product Type - Cosmetic refers to any cosmetic product other than Cold or Hot Process soap.  CP/HP Soap is charged slightly higher as there are calculations to do in order to give the ingredient ranges for the portal.

Upon purchasing this package, you will receive a download link for a Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) at checkout.

Next, simply fill out the confidentiality agreement and send it back to me along with:

• Your CPSR
• Your PIF 
• Your label design in jpg format (separate from your PIF)

You will then need to log in to your Portal account and add me as a Team Member with the email address provided in the Confidentiality agreement.  This sends me an invite which I can then use to report your product.

I will then:

• Gather the required information about your product
• Create the formulation CSV file ready for upload
• Report your product on the UK SCPN portal

Once the entry is complete, you will be sent a confirmation email.  You must then log into your account, check the entry and confirm by return email.

Please note that I do not complete Portal entries for white-label products or those purchased abroad.

This listing is for one product variant portal entry.  If you require more email for a tailored quote.  

This is for the UK SCPN Gov Portal ONLY.

The Portal notification is created to the best of my knowledge.  As the Responsible person of your product, it is up to you to check the information that you provide me is correct. I accept no liability for the finished entry which is based on the information given to me.  You and your brand remain the responsible person at all times. After reporting the product on the portal it is up to you as the Responsible person to keep it up to date.  

In exceptionally busy periods, if wait times are going to be longer than 1 week, you will be emailed and have the option to wait or cancel your order.

Please ensure that your information is correct before purchasing this service.  If I notice any incorrect or missing information then I will let you know before proceeding to give you the opportunity to correct it, however this is not a PIF review service and I can only work with the information given to me.  It is your responsibility to ensure this is accurate and meets UK regulatory standards.

For data protection purposes, your files and completed documents will be deleted from our system after you have confirmed the portal upload.

Do you need help to get customers to your website and convert those visits into sales? 

You likely have a great product, but your website is missing something.

That's where these website audits come in. 

Due to demand, I'm now offering a complete audit of your website. 

This purchase includes a full audit of your website.

 I go through your site page by page and create a write-up of what is negatively affecting your store, what could be improved on, what is missing that you should add and what needs to go.

At the end of this write-up will be a list of actions to take to address these issues and how to go about it.

Please allow a week for me to complete this for you.  It will delivered to the email address that you ordered from in PDF format.

When you have placed your order, please email contact@revega.co.uk with your order number and provide your website URL. 

Important:  This is an audit and recommendations only.  I do not do the alterations for you.  It is up to you as the website owner to decide if the audit recommendations are right for your business and implement them.  I make no guarantee that these changes will impact traffic or sales, as there are many other factors that will determine this.  However, making sure your website is as polished as it can be is a big step in the right direction.
Strictly no refunds on services.  If you are unsure about purchasing, please email me with any questions prior.
