How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.

Studying the Market

After you've evaluated your local competitors, the next step is to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby malt and hops businesses will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

On the other hand, an individual who has a malt and hops business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
