Greetings NL.

It will be appreciated if anyone on this forum can share their knowledge or experience on how to become a beer distributor. Including start up costs.

Knowledge and experience for other distribution businesses are likewise welcome.

Much thanks.

Presently we have 3 major companies you can distribute for; Nbl Nigeria breweries, Guinness and International brewery. To do business with any of them you must have nothing less than 6m that's the least. Apart from the 6m you must a full plot of land with accessible road and vehicle or vehicles for distribution of their products. Nigeria brew products are; Star, Gulder, Legend, Goldberg, Heineken, Maltina etc Guinness products are Harp, big stout, malta G, Orijin, smirn off ice ect.

you can go to Nigeria brew head office at Iganmu and pick application form or if you know any of their sale rep. Its not a business you can give someone to manage on your behalf and its a very lousy business

its a lousy business in the sense that outsider can calculate your profit for you, area boys will come for settlement depending on location, trucks from brews will call the attention of your neighbors because trucks and trailers will be entering everytime.

Empties and capital and good workers are the key factors of distributor business, recommended price for almost all brews create is #1000 that includes Trophy, Gulder, Guinness etc. Workers you will need driver and motor boys, delivery van can be Ford bus, Benz bus but pls don't buy automatic gear bus for distribution to customers. Credit sales can make the business to boost but you must have credit limit.

I think you have got your answer. If you are still confused about how to start a business I can give you some references. To start any business is more difficult than we think. Sometimes we lack necessary information. The whole procedure on how to start any business is described under business entity search. From naming your business and choosing a location to getting a license you will get all the guidance. Again it varies from area to area.
