BeechTree is a Social Enterprise that invests in workers with a Traumatic Brain Injury. We create and distribute wholesome body care products such as lotion, body-wash, hand sanitizer, and soap bars.
We need your help to create a soap bar which is like no other. This soap bar will be made using the labor of individuals with a traumatic brain injury and/or disability. This soap bar will be packaged using recycled material such as post-consumer paper. The ingredients of this soap bar will be completely organic and fair trade sustainable wherever possible (85% of total ingredient volume.) This is why we give this the name Eco-Social Super Bar! It sustains a social and ecological cause with every purchase!
We would like to upgrade our production system and add a new soap bar to our product offering which will become the best selling bar we have ever offered. This new bar will be called the “BeechTree Super Bar”, but we are open to your suggestions on the exact finalized name of the product. If we do not receive a better suggestion, the bar will be named: BeechTree Super Bar. It will have hints of various organic herbs such as Lavender, Lemongrass, Sage, and Peppermint. Aiming to please our male and female customers both.
We would like to use the funds generated from this campaign to buy new mixing equipment, scale, ingredients, and other tools to produce the “BeechTree Super Bar.” We would also like to use the funds to research the new bar ingredients and the superior recipe for this special bar.
“No other soap bar exists which offers this much of an ecological and social benefactor with every purchase.”
We currently sell about 750 soap bars a year and our demand is growing. We would like to scale up our current system and aim to have a production system that can easily produce up to 5000 soap bars a year.
One should invest in our BeechTree Enterprise because we use all the profits from selling our products to provide a job and salary for the workers which we employ. These individuals who want to work may experience difficulty finding employment at typical settings. BeechTree is a stepping stone for these individuals. They may use BeechTree as a way to move into another employment setting or continue to work at BeechTree indefinitely.
The risks involved with this project are limited because we have existed as a company for over 5 years and have a large customer base. This year we have been building a subscription base of customers who pay us on a monthly basis to receive orders which we deliver!
