About your business?
Rileigh Rose.Co is a Polynesian owned small business which sells hand made candles for any occasion.
Made with a soy wax, a variety of scents and designs including personalised candles.
These have all been made and packed with love.
Rileigh Rose.Co have recently introduced personalised favours for any occasion – these include personalised chocolate bars, lollipops & water bottles.
Rileigh Rose comes from two of my nieces names put together. I’m a mum of 1 handsome little boy and just out here doing what I love for my little growing family.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My love for candles, it’s something I really enjoy. I started making them just for fun and made the big step to start my own business selling something I am passionate about & made with love.
What do you see as your biggest opportunity for growth?
Being able to network, socialise and surround myself with other small businesses. Starting within our community. Having the same value, ambition, drive and goals.
How do you balance the demands of running a business with your personal life, and what advice would you give to other aspiring entrepreneurs?
Take that step! Create a rough business plan. Know that it is okay to make mistakes and not everyone will agree or like some of the things you are doing. Take on the constructive criticism with a positive mindset, it’s a good way to learn. & Try not to be so hard on yourself.
