Milking a business idea

A Fin24 user who is planning to buy a dairy farm seeks guidance: He writes:

I'm planning to buy a farm in Ladysmith and produce milk. The idea is to supply a company like Clover SA.

I'm busy with investigations in this respect. Is there any assistance I could get in this regard?

MindPilot’s Bertie du Plessis responds:

Alway begin at the end! 

First, find out what Clover and the like require from you to become a supplier. Then tailor your actions accordingly. No use doing everything right upstream and you don't qualify to supply.

"Last things first!" is the motto for success in business.
