The Kitchen to Shelf™ Method builds the business under the product you already make — the LLC, the EIN, FDA-compliant labels, and prices that pay you — one step a day. Without a lawyer, a formation service, or guessing.
Reuse every step each time you add a new product.
Identity, ingredients, net contents, responsible party. Miss one and the label isn't compliant.
Kitchen to Shelf™ is the full path — from the first LLC form to the first stranger who buys. Every woman I've watched get stuck got stuck at the same place: she skipped step one.
The 7-Day Sprint covers the first three. Packaging and marketing come in the full course, once there's a real business to market.
You've been making this for a year, maybe two. People buy it. They come back. And still, every part of the business side is held together with tape:
None of that means you're behind. It means nobody sat down and showed you the order to do things in.
Same product. Same you. A business underneath it.
Each day is one short lesson and one thing you actually do. Most take under an hour.
Check whether your name is actually available before you print anything. Understand the difference between a sole proprietorship and an LLC so you can choose on purpose.
File in your state, step by step, with the pages and fees laid out. No $800 formation service required.
Get your EIN free from the IRS in about fifteen minutes, then open the account that separates your business money from yours.
The required elements, the panels they belong on, and the claims that quietly turn your body butter into something the FDA treats as a drug.
Write your ingredient list in INCI order, set your net contents, add your responsible-party line. You finish the day with label copy you can hand to a printer.
Cost per unit including packaging, labor, and the jar you keep forgetting to count. Then your retail price and the wholesale price underneath it.
Product insurance, batch records, and where you can and can't legally sell — markets, boutiques, your own site.
All of it is yours to keep and reuse for every product you add.
Short video walkthroughs plus a written version, so you can read it on your phone while the shea melts.
A fill-in-the-blank layout with every required element marked, so nothing gets left off.
Enter your costs, get your cost per unit, retail, and wholesale numbers.
What to file, where, what it costs, and what to do with the paperwork once it arrives.
Words that are fine on a cosmetic label, and words that will get you a letter. Keep it next to you when you write product descriptions.
Most people teaching this have only ever done one half of it. Either they formulate, or they know business setup. I do both. I make skincare, and I've set up multiple businesses from scratch.
Which means I'm not handing you a generic LLC checklist and wishing you luck. I know what a shea butter cost sheet actually looks like, why your labels keep coming back wrong from the printer, and where women in this industry lose money without realizing it.
Kitchen to Shelf™ is the whole path I walk women down — legal, labels, pricing, packaging, then landing customers who aren't your cousins. The 7-Day Sprint is the first stretch of it, and the one nobody else teaches properly.
No. Seven days is the pace that keeps people moving, not a deadline. Access doesn't expire, so if life happens on Day 3, pick it back up whenever.
No. State filing fees are paid directly to your state and vary widely — roughly $50 to $500 depending on where you live. Your EIN is free from the IRS. Day 2 shows you exactly what your state charges before you commit to anything.
It isn't. I'm not an attorney, an accountant, or an FDA consultant. This is education based on how I've set up my own businesses and labeled my own products. For anything unusual in your situation, talk to a professional in your state.
Same rules. Cosmetic labeling and business setup work the same way for body butters, scrubs, hair oils, and facial products. If you sell soap, there are a few differences and I flag them on Day 4.
Not well. The registration steps and labeling rules here are US-specific. The pricing work still applies, but you'd be paying mostly for material you can't use.
You'll have a registered business, compliant label copy, and your pricing — and you'll reuse the label template and pricing worksheet every time you add a product. When you're ready for packaging, wholesale, and marketing, the full Kitchen to Shelf™ course and one-on-one launch support pick up where the sprint leaves off. Nothing else is required to finish this sprint.
The only thing missing is the business under it. That part takes a week.
