You will need to learn where to buy the drinks or if possible to find out if you can be supplied by the various depots for little or no fee at all.

You can also learn the fast moving products in the market and what people demand more for and the quantities you can buy to make good money.

You can get some one who has been in the business to show you the way around the business as well as the things you will need to avoid.

How to do this Business

Before starting, you will map out your strategy of how you want to run the business including the people and market you want to serve.

Will you cater to people around your neighborhood and sell to retailers who in turn sell to people to consume or will you focus on supplying drinks to people and organizations that have intentions of hosting various events.

Staffing Strategies

As the business grows, you will need to employ people that will assist you in supply the drinks especially when you a lot of customers and events to supply.

Ensure they have some level of experience and are hard working and if they have no experience, they should be willing to learn on the job. They should be neat and presentable with good customer service skills.

When supplying the drinks you will need a vehicle to transport them. If you do not have enough money to buy a vehicle you can hire a vehicle to help you carry the drinks to their location until you are able to buy your own vehicle.

Before starting the business, make sure you do a feasibility study, register the business and fulfill on requirements needed by the authorities.

Its good to write and very good business plan before you start this business. The plan will act as a guide to you. Success!
