How to price a beverage company

[Nick Griffin]

Ummm… huh?? We’re a bit more about the business and marketing side of film, video and other creative enterprises here than we are about regular business questions – especially one of corporate valuation. As far as alcohol products go, most of us here at the Cow are experienced with what happens after the beverage is sold. We drink it.

But, what the hell, I’ll take a brief stab at your questions.

I would guess that the best course of action for determining the value of your company would be a small-business savvy accountant. I mention business-savvy because value is a lot more than just numbers.

Regarding whether you’ll need a broker I have to believe that importing any form of alcohol is VERY complicated. Not only does each state have different laws, often counties in the same state have widely different laws. Like I said, it’s complicated. Have you considered going into the video production business? It has fewer laws pertaining to it and most places you can consume it 24 hours a day.

I would imagine there are alcohol importer consultants and/or manufacturers reps. There must be a trade association for the beverage industry who may be able to send you in the right direction.

Perhaps you can send several cases of whatever you are selling to the moderators of this forum. We’d like that!

Good luck.

When a freelance vidiot does not know what his services are worth, he’s not ready to charge for them yet.
When a company owner with an overhead is planning an international move but doesn’t know the price points of his own products, man that’s full circle back to good tv.
Can I bring my camera and piggy back you on this venture?

Ahh, the good old days… Once upon a time, all you needed was a speed boat and a Thompson gun.

It really depends on if you want the company liquid.

:o)

Man, I am really sorry guys — I just couldn’t pass that one up.

I too am having this problem with importing alcohol into my system (even after several cache purges). I have read the manual, but to no avail. Any help?

Thanks in advance!

Have you actually taken the cork off of the bottle? I’ve found that helps. Also, when putting the bottle to your lips, it seems that you may need to tip the bottle so that the bottom is higher than the mouth.
