Hey Jeff,
If you feel like your Braille cups would be a liability in a business plan, you may want to forego mentioning them. If your teapots will be sure moneymakers, then focus on getting those up and running, and add your cups when the money is sufficient to allow it.
I have found that even if I work seven days a week, and even if I sell everything I make, it is barely enough to cover my high overhead. However, I do have one product that is simple in design, but takes awhile to make, and it sells like hotcakes. If I could have it manufactured, or even make my own molds and make ten per day instead of two per month, all of my financial problems could be solved (provided I don't find new ones). It just makes sense.
I wish you luck on your venture. Just remember that investors want to be assured that they will make money off of you in the long run. Do not show them any plans that could be considered a great risk, as they think every new business is risky enough. Let us know when you are up and running! Jules
