How start a beer company may be considered a not-so-easy business but do not despair since this is one business that never runs out of clients.

Brewery business is one of the most successful businesses there is. People love to drink beer with no gender prejudice, so this is definitely a sure-hit business.

Here are tips on how to start your own beer company.

Develop a Business Plan

To start a beer company, you must first develop a business plan. You can create your business plan. There are readily available templates available in the market today which are user-friendly. Still, hiring a professional business plan maker is wise since you are opening a beer company. You might need to apply for a business loan; hence, you must present a copy of your business plan.

Get A Location

Since you plan on starting a beer company, you should get a suitable location for the business. You can lease a building or construct one specifically designed for your business. This would mean you have to purchase or rent a parcel of land. Either way, you have to choose a location wherein you are most accessible to the public. Do not be mistaken; that beer company is limited to those with significant capital. Beer companies can be started as home-based businesses as well. It is better to start small and expand as soon as the industry picks up.

Equipment and Supplies

You will have to invest in types of equipment for brewing since you will start a beer company. There are several types of equipment that you need to provide in making beers like kegs, fermenter/s, brewers, beer kits, beer bottles and caps, hydrometers, siphon tubes, sterilizing solutions, malted barley, water, yeast, hops, flavorings, sugar starch, etc. You have to make sure that you purchase what you need but stock ingredients to continue operation and have ample supplies of your products.

Employees and Staffs

You should hire employees and staff who know beer manufacturing. It will take fewer hours to train and orient them with the processes and techniques since they already have the basic knowledge of the business. Ensure people are assigned to your business's administrative and marketing side other than those set to the operation. It would help to treat your employees and staff like family to avoid theft and dishonesty. You can also involve family members as part of employees and staff. This is another way that somebody trusted is left behind to look after your business in cases where you cannot do so.

@vijayakumar,
1. 7-10 Crores needed to start a beer company.
2. There isn't a single license for a beer company. There are tons of clearance and licenses are required. Hire a consultant to help you.
3. 10-15 acres of land needed.
4. It is possible to get a loan but heavily depends on the collateral that you provide.
