Almost everyone loves popcorn. It would be possible to earn some money if you start your own business. Americans love popcorn since the 16th century. Starting a business is not that hard as long as you know what you’re doing. Among the things you will need is business license, popcorn maker, sales venue, and some fliers or business cards. Before you head out, you will need to prepare a plan. Since this type of business requires little capital, you can use your savings instead of applying for a loan. Your business plan doesn’t need to be too formal, as long as it covers the major aspects of the business. In fact, you can write it down on a planner or a notebook.
Starting Your Own Popcorn Business
You have to check with the local office in your county or city to determine the legal requirements for business startup. You will have fewer problems if the business is a legal entity and conforms to the government’s procedures and regulations. Now, you will need to find a location for the business but you can always start a home-based business with some popcorn carts; that is, if zoning requirements do not hinder you from starting a home-based popcorn business.
One of the most important tools you will need is a popcorn maker. This can cost you $200 or more depending on the brand or model that you purchase. You have to get a reliable and quality popcorn maker to make great-tasting popcorns. Since you will be preparing food, it is necessary to obtain a certification or license from the department of health. You will need to visit the health inspector in your area to find out the requirements that you need to comply with.
If you lease out a store space, you can purchase some tables and chair where your customers can sit. You should also provide for entertainment inside the store, so your customers will not get bored. In a home-based business, you will be selling popcorn in different places, which means that you need employees. Popcorn carts can be taken craft shows, flea markets, festivals, and concerts since all these places will allow you to generate higher sales. You have to produce only the right amount of popcorns to avoid wasting any of your supplies. Over time, you can now think of other ways to supplement your income. You can sell some drinks and side snacks that will complement popcorns very well. Open your own business today and earn extra money.
