How Do I Start My Own Food Business?

Q.  I’ve been a foodie my whole life and I have great recipes.  My friends all tell me that I should sell my products commercially.  How do I go about doing this?

There are a few ways to accomplish this goal.

First, you could go through all of the research and development for every single product that you want, which we at Best Brand Bottlers are well-equipped to help you with. We would make sure that you have everything you need – your formula, your Food Processing Authority Letter, nutritional information and ingredients list, and a few samples for you to sell to you prospective clients. To get each of your products through this process is about $1000 apiece. To create a catalog of products could cost you in the 10s of thousands of dollars.

Another way would be to have a flagship product, created from a recipe that is near and dear to your heart or that has been in your family for generations. This would be your baby and we would walk you through the process above. Then you could take any of Best Brand Bottlers’ Private Label Gourmet Products, brand them as your own and sell them.

We have two clients who started with one product and are now in the process of expanding their product line with many of the established private labeled products that we created. This is working extremely well for both clients.

There is a third way. You could create a catalog of salad dressings, hot sauces, marinades, pasta sauces and salsas from the Best Brand Bottlers array of thirty-two different products.  We can help you with purchasing sales samples, private labeling for you or your clients, establishing which products suit your own personal tastes and where you want to market your line.

Whether you go the route of Contract Packing, Private Label or a hybrid of the two - any way you envision your future - rest assured that Best Brand Bottlers will help you every step of the way. It’s what we do.

Best Brand Bottlers, Inc. in Sarasota, Florida is a company guided by a strong moral compass.
