Well, it's not the easiest thing to find out. Now, the first question would be, are you looking for a distributor to take complete control of the production, marketing, distribution and risk? Or are you just looking for someone to produce your product for you? If it is the first question, do not expect to make a lot of cash unless the product seriously takes off. If you are looking for a complete distributor, since they are taking the risk with the product, they will take the lions share of the profit as well. In this case, your personal profit (royalty) from this will not be huge unless, like previously stated, the product finds itself in many large markets. On the good side of this, you really don't have to do anything, as the distributor will completely take over the entire product, and you sit back and take care of the books. You will also most likely lose ownership, or at least your majority ownership of your product. If you are just looking for let's say a contract packer (co-packer), this is much more lucrative, however you will put in a lot more work this way. With us, it's a labor of love, and we have a co-packer who we are very satisfied with. If this is the angle you wish to approach, the Fiery Foods website has quite a few names of co-packers, perhaps even in your area you may want to at least talk to. By only using a co-packer, you maintain full ownership of your product, and you will sign a non-disclosure form when you sign on with the co-packer, so they cannot use your formula for anything but your bottles. Insist on this form. Either way you go, I wish you the best of luck with it. I would suggest at least starting with a co-packer and work your way up to a full distributor, as you may not want to give up ownership of something you yourself created. It's more work not using a full distributor, but you can call it your own (legally). I hope this helps you.
