Use this as a working list. Some items take a day; others, like payment processing, can take a few weeks — start those early.
Before your consultation
- Pick a working brand name and check that the domain and social handles are available.
- Decide who your customer is: individual researchers, labs, or resellers.
- Shortlist the compounds you want to carry at launch (most brands start with 6–12).
- Choose a package and set your opening-order budget.
- Set aside a marketing budget for your first 90 days.
Business setup
- Form your LLC or corporation and get an EIN.
- Open a business bank account.
- Talk to an attorney about your terms, disclaimers and the regulations that apply to you.
- Look into product liability insurance.
- Register your domain and set up a business email.
Brand & product
- Finalize your logo, colors and label design (we can help with label layouts).
- Confirm compounds, strengths and quantities for your opening order.
- Collect batch COAs for every product you'll list.
- Write product pages that describe compounds for research use only — no health or dosing claims.
Store & payments
- Store packages: send us your brand assets so the build can start.
- Prepare payment-processor documents: business formation papers, bank statements, ID, website URL and policies.
- Publish your privacy policy, terms of service, shipping and refund policies.
- Place test orders before launch to check checkout, emails and shipping.
Launch & after
- Announce to your audience and start your first campaigns.
- Set up a customer-service inbox and response routine.
- Track sell-through by product and plan your first reorder.
- Review results monthly and adjust your product mix.
