Starting a fruit juice business seems pretty straight forward business idea. A lot of people prefer drinking a variety of fruit juices over cold drink or any other carbonated beverages. Operating a fruit juice plant business requires a lot of patience, proper planning and the ability to grow and expand according to the market demands.
These are few points which can be opted while starting a fruit juice business.
Don’t ever forget to register the juice factory business with the secretary of state’s office. Get in touch with the Department of Health in your state to settle on the types of licenses needed to open a juice factory.
Decide what types of products you want to sell which include flavored drink, sports drinks and specialty drinks.
Find out your target consumers. These days a lot of retail outlets, grocery stores sell fruit juices, you can put up for sale to those shops.
Choose a space large enough to create product receiving, production, packaging, shipping and storage areas. If you don’t have enough capital, you can lease the factory space.
Make sure your fruit juice plant includes safe equipment, allow employees to move about freely and include bathroom facilities and break room area.
Before setting up the juice factory, make sure an assembly line is ready for making, filling and shipping juice products without hassles.
You can also hire employees to work in different areas within the plant. Install an inventory software, a bar code system in your factory.
Before packaging and selling, you can arrange meetings with several retail outlets and shops. Alternatively you can build a website where you can directly sell you products to your customers.
