Hanifa,

If you search the literature and/or patent information you will find formulations for an older class of generic baths. These will be lacking in rate, stability and quantity of metal turnovers. By working with this information, you can develop a bath. However, what you will have developed will be old technology since deposits from the bath will not meet ROHS requirements or many others which severely restrict heavy metals.

I think that you should contact a local supplier of plating chemistry and see what they have to offer.
