How to Create a Distillery Business Plan

How to Write a Distillery Business Plan

Writing a business plan is an essential element of starting up a new enterprise, acting as a guide that sets forth objectives that the company hopes to attain over time and securing investment or financing from financial institutions.

Your first section should outline your company. It should contain details regarding its structure and ownership as well as an account of how and why the business began. In addition, this section should address where your company will operate based on why this location will have an effect on its success.

In this section, it’s also important to outline what products your company will produce; these could include spirits such as vodka, whiskey, gin and rum as well as an explanation of both traditional and modern distilling processes used at your distillery. Prices should also be provided for each product produced as well as production methods (whether traditional or modern).

Finally, this section should outline the risks that your business will be subject to – such as rising raw material prices or natural disasters which cause significant disruptions and delays in production. Finally, this subsection should outline your contingency plans to manage these risks.

The operations plan should include your daily, short-term processes and long-term goals for the company. For instance, this could include when you expect to sell 500 bottles or expand into new cities/product lines; and also include information regarding staffing plans with respect to how you will recruit for each role.
