Say you go to a bunch of lenders and you offer a comprehensive and realistic outline of your business plan to sell fresh and naturally and chemical free treated spring water, and you want a loan to cover the cost to purchase the land with those fresh water springs, cover the cost of the manual labor and to cover the cost of shipping and handling and use of glass bottles, and market towards eco conscious people.

Would you suppose it's more complicated than this to start a business selling fresh spring water? I know I wouldnt be the next nestle but people like clean spring water, surely that's a market that isn't going away, considering we need water for living.

Distribution and getting shelf space would probably be the hardest part. Marketing if you're trying to sell online, and shipping would probably be brutal with glass bottles, lots of broken product.

You're doing it the hard way. Just rent a warehouse and get a reverse osmosis machine (fed from your municipal water supply) and a bottling machine and you're good. The "spring" shit is just marketing persiflage. If you drop the "chemical free" claim (which is false both for municipal water and actual spring water) then you don't even need the reverse osmosis system, you can just bottle straight up tap water and use that part of your budget on more/better marketing.

You need to think completely different from Nestle.
Bring back the concept of the Milk Man. Have special glass bottles that are enjoyable to drink out of and have the Water Man come by once a week to swap out the bottles.

Couldn't spring water be treated without using chemicals? What chemicals are used in treating spring water that nothing from nature can't do and doesn't diminish the quality and taste?

If AI advances enough and gets integrated and we have self driving vehicles, I like the idea of having a self driving spring water truck coming by and people in the area coming by and buying the water

The customer would have a box/dock they would place the crate of bottles on when they're ready for replacement which would automatically trigger the bot to add it to the route
Flavored carbonated waters are available for additional fee of course

>>60936115
Yes. You need permits to get the water. Check with local, county, state, and federal jurisdictions before you buy the land. You dont have to own the spring, you can drill nearby.

Genius idea.

>>60936157
Spring water contains chemicals straight from the source. You can eliminate those as well as biological contaminants either by distilling it or running it through a reverse osmosis filter, but if you're going to do that then it doesn't matter if the water came from a spring or your tap so the spring thing is just a wasted expense .

>>60936115
It's a start but the best business are ones with novel ideas that appeal to a specific niche
>>
>>60936174
I'd feel like distilling it would be less expensive

>feel
cool but what do you *think*?

>>60936163
Considering the "Milk Man's" job was basically a front for providing the service of inseminating lonely wives who's husband was off working, this is just >>60936145 looking to walk in his granddad's footsteps in a time when all the real men are out doing hard labour due to AI automation of every job involving an office chair.

>>60936174
Retard
Never ever destil your water or use reverse osmosis filter. It takes out all the minerals and makes the water super bad and unhealthy. Spring water is healthy.
