Hey guys,
I just recently joined probrewer. I am an MBA student at DePaul University focusing in Entrepreneurship and was putting together a business plan for a Craft Distribution Company and was hoping I could get a few questions answer here. I have hundreds of questions but I would like to focus on the financials for now. Also I know that some of this information is sensitive to companies, so even if i could get a ballpark range that would be great.
1. Anticipated Sales Return Rate (estimate of sales that will be returned or refunded i.e. damaged, defective, etc)
2. What is your % Cost of Sales. This is the estimated mark up not including labor or overhead. This is the strait purchase price vs. sale price %.
3. What commissions do you pay your sales staff?
4. How many employees are needed to run a distribution company with a revenue of roughly $500,000.
As you can imagine, I have lots more and would love to talk with anyone in the industry. Please feel free to email me directly at ckoszewski@gmail.com. Thanks for your help.
