Yes, very useful to me. Love the ending about putting the flag down in your hometown. I need to research a lot more on it. Mahalo Mr. CEO

I feel like I was just mentored. Thank you so much for the knowledge and gold nuggets.

Interesting.

Just subbed, would love for you to do a take on some of these big bars (like Seacrets in MD) that make their own brand spirits. How much do you think they save like that?

@LiquorCEO

Жыл бұрын

Given that they still have to buy the product from a distributor, I'm sure the savings are there, albeit minimal. I think the min advantage of doing that is when you have VOLUME - Plus the vanity of having your own brand for a retail establishment is powerful too.

I’m a little confused this might sound like such a dumb question but I want to start a business to make money so just having 70k in capital is virtually impossible

@LiquorCEO

Being lite on capital will increase the risk associated with the success of the business. You won’t be able to secure the lowest cost for the product and you need capital for marketing and making a market for your brand. You need to support your brand heavily.

So my question is how would someone with an amazing idea but no capital get linked with investors with knowledge,capital and a foot in the business to launch their brand.

@LiquorCEO

Develop a detailed business plan first. Really understand what you’re getting into and determine what your enterprise will need to launch and grow. You’ll need to network and find appropriate capitalization options suitable for your needs and such. That’s NOT an area I am suited to answer you responsibly.

Great video! However, this information mostly applies to the U.S? Why wouldnt it be possible to start this business with a small 10-15k and start building the brand localy with only a few hundred white label bottles and guerila marketing strategies to spread the name and then each month invest all money to get more bottles and organize bigger and bigger marketing events to scale it up?

The main challenge I see with small batching is COST. Your actual COGS (cost of goods sold) will be significantly higher as opposed to a larger volume run. I'm not going to say you can't make a go of it - BUT - I think the economic model is more challenging and finding distribution will be more difficult. Having $15K to do all of this as opposed to having more capital available to apply but wanting to get to some sort of feasibility or proof of concept achievement before going full throttle are very different risk sets.

Ok, I have a novice question- What does RTD stand for? You used this acronym 2x, and I can't figure out what it stands for? Thanks.

Hi I am in PA and thinking to do liquor store so how can I start, how can I buy liquor license? Thank you!!

Definitely make yourself aware of the PLCB and the rules and regulations. They are the governing body for all things liquor related in PA.

Question As a private label owner? 1) I order product from distiller in Ireland and bill to me and ship to importer in NY. (Of course pay for excise tax before bringing into USA) 2) Importer charges me for fees and storage and I pay for it. 3) Importer ships my product to Distributors in USA but I bill distributors and get paid. Is this steps are correct or am I understating wrong here?

Steps 1 and 2 are reasonably accurate - Step 3 depends on what licenses you maintain and which states are in play.

I’m a little confused this might sound like such a dumb question but I want to start a business to make money so just having 70k in capital is virtually impossible, what are good ways to get that initial 70k

Sure do. There are quite a few folks in France who make AMAZING bubbly. Like most any products, it truly does depend on what type of champagne you are wanting to make. email me: charles@40-80sprits.com if you're interested in formally considering getting into the space.

So basically, don’t try to start small. Mortgage the home and take out loans and buy multiple $50k stills?

If you're doing this as a hobby - that's fine. Do it for as least amount of SPEND as possible. If you're trying to create and develop a brand and make a BUSINESS out of this - then YES - it will take capital to do it. As to taking out loans - that's not part of the scope of my content. Capital is NOT debt. You're free to make your own decisions on sourcing your funding and capital. I'm simply sharing an opinion on how best to set up a brand to have a go at it as a BUSINESS - not a hobby. REMEMBER: Capital is a TOOL - you need the RIGHT TOOL to do the job best. Dig a pool with a shovel vs dig a pool with an excavator...... Best of Luck!!
