At Innovation Chem, we know that every big brand starts somewhere. Many of our partners began with tiny orders — sometimes just a handful of bottles — and grew into six-figure monthly accounts. Our mission is to give ambitious startups the tools, flexibility, and support they need to compete with established names and scale sustainably.
Starting Small: The First Step
For many new businesses, the first order isn’t huge. It might be:
-
A sample kit to test product quality
-
A few boxes of car care or home cleaning products
-
A short run of labelled bottles for trial sales
This is often where the journey begins — with a small batch, low risk, and plenty of questions about what’s possible next.
Building Trust Through Quality
Consistency is everything. Startups can’t afford to gamble on unreliable suppliers or products that don’t perform. That’s why we invest in:
-
Batch testing and QC to guarantee reliable results
-
Compliance and COSHH documentation to keep businesses protected
-
On-time delivery that allows startups to fulfil orders and build their reputation
This reliability creates confidence, which is the foundation of scaling.
Scaling Up: Flexible Pack Sizes
One of the biggest barriers for small businesses is moving from small runs to bulk supply. At Innovation Chem, we make this transition seamless.
We support growth with multiple pack sizes:
-
500ml & 1L bottles for direct-to-consumer sales
-
5L & 25L jerrycans for trade customers and resellers
-
200L drums & 1000L IBCs for large-scale distribution
This flexibility means a customer can start small and gradually step up without changing manufacturer or supply chain.
The Turning Point
The real shift happens when a business outsources its production and filling to us. By leaving the bottling, compliance, and logistics to Innovation Chem, entrepreneurs can:
-
Focus on marketing, branding, and customer growth
-
Expand their product line with confidence
-
Move into wholesale or retail supply without operational bottlenecks
This is how small businesses begin to compete directly with established players.
From Dozens of Bottles to £100k+ Per Month
We’ve seen businesses scale from a few dozen bottles per month to six-figure monthly orders. While every story is different, the pattern is the same:
-
Start small with manageable volumes
-
Build trust and reliability
-
Scale gradually into bulk formats
-
Leverage Innovation Chem’s manufacturing expertise to expand
This isn’t theory — it’s a proven growth pathway we’ve repeated across multiple industries.
Leveling the Playing Field
With Innovation Chem, startups aren’t at a disadvantage. Our capabilities mean they can:
-
Launch private label products that match big brands in quality and presentation
-
Access professional packaging and contract filling services without massive MOQs
-
Grow at their own pace while keeping costs efficient
-
Offer the same reliability, safety, and compliance as much larger competitors
