Attorney Lauren Simplifies Getting An ABL Permit
People often use the alcohol licensing terms ABC and ABL interchangeably because they are common terms in the alcohol licensing industry for licenses that essentially serve the same purpose. South Carolina officially uses the term ABL, which stands for Alcohol Beverage Licensing, while people generally use the term ABC, which stands for Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
There are several types of ABL permits. They include a Beer and Wine Permit for on- or off-site consumption, a Restaurant Liquor by the Drink License for on-site consumption, a Retail Liquor License for off-premises sales of bottled liquor, and Special Event Licenses for temporary event sales. Without the help of a trustworthy Hanahan ABC licensing lawyer, it can be confusing to figure out which licenses you need and how to get your applications filed correctly and on time.
Even the most conscientious business owners and managers with the best intentions can get fined for violating ABL laws in Hanahan. The penalties for violations can include a thousand-dollar fine per violation, license suspension, license revocation, and for severe offenses such as selling to minors or making unlicensed sales, criminal charges. If you have been charged with ABC violations or want legal help to make sure that you know how to stay in compliance and continue to stay in compliance with SC’s alcohol laws, even when those laws change, a good ABL lawyer can help you.
