Starting A Successful Kettle Corn Business

By Lela Perkins


Starting a business can be easy or difficult, depending on the type of business. A kettle corn business is not only lucrative, but also offers endless opportunities for expansion and money making, dependent on how much business owners are willing to put into the business. It also offers work flexibility and different options for operating the business.

Consider all things to start a kettle corn business, including licenses. One of the main things to consider is that business owners will need state and health licenses for this business, as well as insurance. Deciding if this will be a traveling business or not will also help in determining if health licenses will be needed for separate counties. Don't just go to county fairs and buy rental space. It is customary for administrators to ask for proof of health certificates and business licenses.

Another consideration is how the business will operate. Will it be seasonal only, or year round? Will it be a traveling operation, conducting business at fairs, festivals, flea markets, local and regional ball games? Will it be operated daily in the city of residence at a central location? Will popcorn stands or catering be provided to weddings, birthday or holiday parties? In consideration of this, what type of equipment will be needed?

Planning for this before starting will help access start-up costs, building and space rentals, licenses needed, and prepare for equipment purchases, packaging, uniforms, and other items. Prices can vary greatly on equipment, especially dependent on if the business will be a traveling business or not, or doing business at events with large numbers of people. The best idea is to do initial research on all options. This way nothing is left to the imagination, and there are no financial surprises.

Though it is fairly simple to conduct an Internet business it is necessary to do research regarding state health licensing. States may have different requirements for such as things as home business food preparation, and this may vary greatly. Investigate regulations and know what is needed before beginning this type of business.

It will also be necessary to consider packaging. Other equipment may also be needed for sealing product, and preservation methods are also a factor. Its also good to plan for different flavors of product. The larger the options the more the product will appeal to consumers. This is particularly an issue for Internet businesses.

Also consider how many months a year the business will operate. Will it operate year round, or only during certain seasons or months? If it will operate only certain months of the year consider leasing equipment instead of buying it.

To lower the cost of starting the business consider a rental agreement, especially if the business will be seasonal. If it will operate year round consider options involved for bringing in profits year round. A little business planning will go a long way in establishing a successful kettle corn business.
