You have a food or beverage business and want to grow. What's next?
You've had your food or beverage maker business going for awhile, selling at farmers markets, co-ops, and online. Now you'd like to know what it will take to move from a certified shared-use kitchen to a co-packer or even your own facility.
At this four-hour program, you'll be introduced to capacity-building business and financial models and outlets that can support a scaling food or beverage manufacturing business. By the end of this program, you should have a good sense of what it's going to take to scale your business and how to tap the resources available to you.
Additionally, we will be reviewing the application process and timing for our 2018/19 FaBcap Accelerator Program.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Early stage, 2-5+ year food and beverage businesses looking to profitably scale and grow their businesses
- Companies planning on applying for FaBcap 3 (2018-2019), our business and finance accelerator
- Food and beverage industry stakeholders wanting to gain insight and influence to best practices for early stage food or beverage businesses
- Entrepreneurs that are considering starting a food or beverage business, that want to gain a head start on what it will take to build a profitable food or beverage business
This event is geared toward food and beverage manufacturers, not restaurant owners.
