Monday turned out to be a pretty good day. You see, Mondays are bowling league night for me and my buddies. We worked together during my ten-year tenure at what shall remain an unnamed company and they're the one good thing came out of that hellish experience.
We crushed it on the lanes and that led to a long celebratory session. This, consequently, helped to balance out the previous couple days of work.
I've been researching options for DBB's legal business structure. LLC versus C Corp versus S Corp versus Sole Proprietorship. They don't make it easy. In fact, I'm fairly convinced they've devised ways to screw you in the Great State of California no matter what you do.
This San Diego SCORE page has some nice tools that have been helpful. Establishing a business entity is definitely the first step in the long road ahead to launching the nanobrewery. I do intend to decide soon.
On a positive note, I've been talking to close colleagues about my plan. I am amazed by the high level of interest and encouraging support toward my endeavor. And of course, plenty of volunteer helpers willing to work for free beer. Awesome!
One friend in particular has a more personal interest. He is a product marketing manager and received his graduate degree with a thesis on the craft brewing industry. He and I have been talking for several years about venturing off and starting a business from the ground up. However, we never considered making beer. How short-sited, considering the many hours we pontificated over matters while enjoying tasty craft brews.
I asked him, "Do you want to be the Director of Marketing?" He responded something like, "Hell yeah!" I consider myself lucky to have him on board. More on this later.
For now, legal stuff and new recipes to test.
