ABC SERVICES

TRANSFERRING AN EXISTING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL (ABC) LICENSE

There are different types of liquor license transfers (person to person, double transfer, stock transfer, and others). We will assess what is required for your specific business and will manage the entire process for you. 

APPLYING FOR A NEW ABC LICENSE

ABC grants new licenses in numerous cases.
We will assist you with the application and
the entire process.

FINDING YOU ABC LICENSE ON THE MARKET

In some cases ABC does not grant new licenses. It may have to do with a type of license, zoning allowance, moratoriums, etc. In these cases a business owner must procure license on the open market. We either have the inventory or will search and find availability, assist in purchase, ABC application procedure, and escrow process.

SELLING YOUR ABC LICENSE TO A
QUALIFIED BUYER

ABC Licensing Services will provide a current market valuation of your license and find a qualified buyer for purchase.

Honestly the best people to work with, I have a restaurant in the Bay Area. They made the process so simple and guided me thru and thru with the process. I highly recommend them, 🥂👨🏽‍🍳
