Welcome to Gnucash userlist. GnuCash will happily handle most of your bookkeeping needs.
IMHO Learning double-entry is an important business skill that you can acquire via the GnuCash Tutorial & Concepts guide, or https://www.dwmbeancounter.com/bookkeeping-course.html is another that I've used. Please be aware that the inventory part won't be handled via GnuCash: while you can record your purchases and sales easily (e.g. buy $1000 worth of raw materials, sell $2000 worth of products), it's difficult to account for the raw materials inventory levels and products waiting to be sold, calculating profit margin etc. Other (expensive) products would likely be more suitable for your needs.
