Six Steps to Running a Wine Business
We've taken the complex bits out of running your own wine business, and boiled it down to these six steps:
1. Join Crushpad Commerce
Every member signs an operating agreement that clearly defines your responsibilities and the responsibilities of Crushpad Commerce. You can either be an existing business entity or an individual. We can even help you create a new entity if required.
2. Make Wine
Make wine with either our team in Napa or in Bordeaux.
3. Create Your Brand
Create your brand with your own resources or leverage our design and legal experience from helping launch other wine brands.
4. Sell Your Wine
We help you with "best practices" for promoting your wine to ensure that you put your best foot forward to create demand for your wines. We also support direct-to-consumer sales in over 35 states, wholesale support, direct-to-trade, registration in online marketplaces, and internet marketing support using social media, widgets and other techniques.
5. Fulfill Orders
In addition to providing and operating your ecommerce platform, we do 100% of the transaction including order acceptance, payment processing, wine storage, compliance, and direct-to-consumer and commercial shipping across most of the US.
6. Distribute Funds
We pay taxes, deduct our service fee and then distribute the proceeds back to you. Your accounting couldn't be simpler as you get summary financial statements that are easy to plug into your personal or business financial returns.
