I'm trying to start a microbrewing company tentatively titled....SwampFox Brewing Company to be home based in southeastern, NC. I have some investment money in escrow and a few partners. We are far short of goals regarding capital needed to go forward. The biggest expense will be for brewing, fermenting, and kegging equipment, and perhaps a brewhouse or lease for a brewhouse. In light of this, we have the option of contracting the brewing out to existing brewers that have the capacity to take on our project on a contract basis. Contracting would save us a lot of capital expenses and free up those resources for sales/distribution.
I'd love to get some advice on gaining the additional capital we need, finding new partners, etc.
We want to produce premium crafted beers and distribute to targeted regional markets in NC, SC, and GA.
I have done all-grain home brewing and have a good working knowledge of the brewing process. I also have made connections with several brewing professionals whom may prospectively join our venture. Making good beer will be the least of our worries. Getting adequately capitalized is the primary hurdle. The plan is to exchange equity for start-up capital. I am spearheading the project as I am the founding partner.
I can answer any questions you may have.
Advice? Thank you in advance!
