My friend and I want to start a business in the state of Oregon. We want to make and sell fermented sodas. Do fermented sodas (which use a process similar to kombucha) fall under “low acid canned goods”? Can we sell the product we make at home or do we have to use a commercial space to make them?

The problem with websites like that are that often times the images are uploaded by users and they just say they are copyright free. I would suggest going with a more reputible source that licenses them so you potentially have recourse if someone claim copyright infringment against you.

One owner sold all of the assets without letting the president who is the other 50% shareholder know anything about. The company has basically closed but has outstanding debt.
