Can anyone give me information\resources for creating a new beverage? I know what I want. I just don't know how to go about creating it and protecting my "vision" of the product. I don't have a company so I don't have the money for R&D and manufacturing\bottling. I may be able to get loans though. Someone on the board said that they had a beverage created by a manufacture and it was theirs once finish --not the manufacturer's.

Thank you,
Justin
