If you plan to diversity your business by blending your own beverages
mixes and at the same time serving them to your customer ; its better
to make a good business plan or modify your existing plans and study
every detail of the proposed venture.the risk involved
It may looks simple to an individual who does not understand the
running of a mixing plant but is really a complicated matter from a
person who understand its details that needs careful and thorough
planning. And not be to be forgotten a huge investment!
Ask yourself, how much do you know about dry blending and the ancillary
operation related to it? Do you have the technical competency to run
such operations? do you unjderstand ingredient interaction and its
behavior in storage?
Will it not drain your resources by having two business operations at
the same time just for the sake of beleving that you are saving money
and getting more profit by making your own beverage mixes?
Have you considered the fact that the more money you invest will not
directly result in greater profitability ?
Remember the more money you spend the more assets you acquire but the
margin does not goes the same way?

My advice is :
Consider that greed is a good motivator for the entrepreneur but it
must be tempered with common sense.
If your problem is your supplier then look for another one who will not
exploit your helplessness; look for there business competitors or
other dealers supplying the same product ; but be careful in jumping on
another venture that is not within your capability.
Never underestimate the size of the iceberg protruding from the surface
of the waster in the same way that do not be overconfident that you can
simply combine A +B + C = D. and presto you get your cheaper chocolate
powder..
Its more than that!
