Free paper cup business?

By offering good quality paper cups to offices and workplaces free of charge. What do you think about this kind of business? Is it worth it?

Where's the catch? You are going to have to charge for some other service. Are you supplying a water fountain or coffee maker? Do you supply coffee or water for these machines? If you do, then offering free paper cups will take a little off your profits from these but might give you leverage against other suppliers.

I don't understand how can you call it business. If you provide it free, you won't get any profit and you have to pay for the material charge and transportation charge. Most of the multi-national companies including my company use paper cups. So, it many not be new if you offer paper cups and they may get from you if you give them for no cost.
