Alcohol distribution is no doubt one of the alcohol related businesses that can be started with fewer challenges most especially if you have the needed licenses and permits.
An alcohol distribution business involves buying different types of alcoholic drinks in wholesale from different wine, beer, liquor and spirit production companies and then distributing them to retailers, bars and night clubs, pubs and hotels.
With this type of business, you can choose to own a store/warehouse if you have the financial capacity or you can choose to operate without a store. The bottom line is that you must own your own distribution truck/van, you should know how to source for different brands of alcoholic drinks and how to get them delivered to your customers.
The truth is that starting an alcohol distribution business is a profitable business, it is very easy to start and it is not so capital intensive especially if you get the goods on trust from the alcoholic drink production companies. Getting the right products and brands that people want to buy, good networking and stock keeping records are the secrets of running the business.
So, if you have decided to start an alcohol distribution business, then you should ensure that you carry out thorough feasibility studies and also market survey.
Business plan is yet another very important business document that you should not take for granted when launching your own business. Below is a sample alcohol distribution business plan template that can help you write your own with little or no hassles.
Steps to Write an Alcohol Distribution Business Plan
1. Industry Overview
In the United States of America, the wine and liquor store business is a regulated business which is why The Twenty-first Amendment of the United States Constitution gives states the power to regulate the sale and consumption of wine and other alcoholic beverages.
It is important to note that State regulations vary widely. Most states in the United States of America have laws that clearly define which alcoholic beverages must be sold in specialty wine and liquor stores and which may be sold in other venues et al.
The Wine, Liquor, and Beer industry is indeed a very large industry and pretty much thriving in all the parts of the world. Statistics has it that in the United States of America alone, there are about 41,590 licensed liquor stores responsible for employing about 171,766 employees and the industry rakes in a whooping sum of $50 billion annually.
The industry is projected to grow at the rate of 2.1 percent annual growth between 2011 and 2016. It is important to state that no establishment can boast of having a dominant share of the available market in this industry. Activities in the Wine, Liquor, and Beer Stores industry is on the increase in the last 5 years (i.e. from 2010 to 2015), even though the revenue generation have not shown remarkable growth within the stated period.
Owing to the obvious increase in consumer confidence, more consumers have purchased high-margin products such as craft beer, boosting industry profitability.
Additionally, the legislation on the liquor, beer and wine market in many states in the U.S has allowed more entrepreneurs to open their own liquor stores. Revenue in the Wine Liquor, and Beer Store industry is expected to grow over the next 5 years as stores generate greater sales especially of high-margin products.
The Wine, Liquor, and Beer Store industry is known to be heavily concentrated in the most densely populated regions and cities, mainly in the Mid-Atlantic, which comprises 24.2 percent of total liquor stores. Statistics has it that within the region, New York accounts for 8.5 percent of total liquor stores and trails only California which has 11.6 percent with the largest percentage of industry liquor stores.
So also, the Southeast and Great Lakes regions are heavily concentrated with industry liquor stores, and account for 17.9 percent and 15.4 percent of total liquor stores, respectively.
Comparatively large liquor stores, in terms of employment and revenue, tend to be located in the Mid-Atlantic region. Nevertheless, the industry is small business oriented, with 68.0 percent of liquor stores employing four or even fewer full-time employees per time.
Please note that the barriers to entry for the alcohol distribution business are moderate, with the most significant barrier being the ability to secure permits and raise capital. Capital investments are needed to purchase distribution trucks and to rent / lease warehouse facilities.
While the amount of capital needed to enter the industry depends on the scale of operations an entrant is pursuing, even small – scale facilities require significant capital. Other barriers include securing supply contracts with upstream alcoholic drink manufacturers.
In a nutshell, alcohol distribution business is indeed a profitable business venture and it is open for any aspiring entrepreneur to come in and establish his or her business; you can choose to start on a small scale without a store/warehouse or you can choose to start on a large scale with a standard store/warehouse, dozens of distribution trucks/vans and a strong online presence.
