Answers:
I'd just try it on a small scale. Wax is a lot of work. Perhaps go to Michael's or Jo Ann's
HI there I am fellow candler and you just need to start off small, a good candle takes years to perfect. I would start off with researching your product first try your local library and research on the net. There are tons of groups out here to help us out, search yahoo groups here (I am a member of a few too). Also try local listings for candler that may offer you some help and advise, search for candle making classes at any of local craft stores too. Good Luck on your venture hoping lots of luck !
I seriously considered making soy candles and done lots of research regarding candle making. After figuring the costs and the time it would take I decided to become a candle distributor. Our candles are made out of soy, veggie, and beeswax. They are the best candles I have ever burned. If you are interested visit my site. The other site I have included is a great place to buy starter kits and supplies for candle making.
get a good website
Have you ever made candles before?
The basics of making candles are the same, no matter what type of wax you use. So good basic instructions you can get here:

If using only soy and not paraffin is important to you, make sure the wax label says 100% soy, or 100% vegetable, because there are a lot of wax blends out there.
Starting your own business requires work and dedication, but use this helpful information and guidelines to get you started:

Another good advice would be to buy supplies locally thus saving on shipping costs. Find craft shops, browse the yellow pages, etc. Here is a list of suppliers sorted by the US states:
