Hello,
I was wondering if some folks could look at my first attempt at operating financials for my business plan and tell me what I may be missing, if any of my numbers are way off, or if something doesn't make sense?
I tend to over estimate costs to be safe, but I don't want to go overboard. I am still researching the costs and expenses, so this is a ballpark. Unexpectedly, I was introduced to someone who is very interested in building a shopping complex in my town and he and his partners want to get a brewery in there and my name came up. Since I just got started with this, I want to get some sort of draft done on my business plan this weekend to them when I meet with them next week.
In a nutshell, I am planning on starting off with 10 bbl batches done once a week and go from there (~500 bbl per year). Most sales in the tap room, with some sixtels and kegs going to some local bars and restaurants.
Here is a summary of how I have the document broken down:
1. Costs to making a batch of beer.
a. I broke it down between the amounts for my lower gravity beers (low) and higher gravity beers (high).
2. Calculate the Average cost (between high and low numbers) per batch, bbl, gal, and oz.
3. Price I plan to ask for various vessel sizes and net profit based on the cost.
4. My expected sales.
5. Yearly and Monthly profit based on the number of barrels I plan on producing.
6. Expected Monthly and Yearly expenses. (This is were I may need some better numbers).
7. My expected net profit.
Thanks in advance for any advice or tips.
