What to look out for when buying a business with a liquor license.
What to
look out for when buying a business with a liquor license.
When buying a business that has a liquor
license, it needs the special skills of a Business Broker that has extensive
knowledge of the liquor law. The liquor law is unforgiving and an invalid or
defective liquor license can mean closure of the business.
When buying a business that is dependent on
a valid liquor license it must be a condition president in the sales contract
that the seller hands over a valid and paid up liquor license. This is
difficult at times to determine if you don`t have liquor license experience. An
application for a new liquor license can take months to be approved.
Before buying a licensed business, the
buyer should consult a reputable liquor license consultant and request the
consultant to inspect the documents and the premises. Some businesses has
evolved over years with the result that they operate in contravention of the
liquor law, and face the danger of closure by the crime prevention team.
The transfer of the liquor license must be
handled by a competent consultant. If this is not so, the business might be
prevented to trade in liquor.
The seller faces a dilemma when selling a
licensed business on terms. The liquor license must be protected should the
buyer default and if the seller is forced to reposes the business to minimize
his damage. If the buyer trades on the sellers liquor license, the business
will be closed by the authorities or the seller may be prosecuted for
transgressions on the premises even though he is not in attendance.
There are fraudulent liquor licenses and
great care must be taken to ensure that the business is legally licensed to
sell alcohol.
