Hanahan, SC ABL Lawyer

An ABL permit allows a business or individual to legally manufacture, import, distribute, sell, or serve alcohol within the City of Hanahan. ABL permits are issued by the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) and are regulated by the state’s alcohol beverage licensing system. Businesses are not allowed to engage in activities involving alcohol without an ABL permit.

There are several types of South Carolina ABL licenses, each designed for specific businesses and their corresponding activities. These include a Retail Liquor Store License (PRL), On-Premises Beer & Wine Permit (PBW), Off-Premises Beer & Wine Permit (PBG), Beer & Wine Special Event Permit (TBP), Temporary ABL License, Local Option Permit (LOP), Business Liquor by the Drink License (PLB), and Nonprofit (Private Club) Liquor by the Drink License (PLC). A prerequisite for getting any of these is to have a valid South Carolina Retail License before you apply for them. An experienced Hanahan ABL lawyer can help you to determine which license is best suited to your current needs, and they can simplify your life by guiding you throughout the process. 

Getting a South Carolina ABL permit can be an arduous process because of all of the state's rules and regulations around alcohol licensing. Laws require retail businesses that sell liquor to be a minimum of 300 or 500 feet from churches, schools, and playgrounds. Community members can protest you getting your license, which can put your licensing process on hold until you have, and prevail, in a contested case hearing. And even when everything goes smoothly without any difficulties, it often takes upwards of 8 weeks to get an ABL application approved. 

Because so many things can go wrong when a business owner is applying for an ABL permit and because so many things can jeopardize it once you have it, many people recommend enlisting the help of an alcohol lawyer at the very beginning of your licensing journey.

Why Experience Matters When Hiring An ABL Lawyer

When you have an experienced ABL lawyer in your corner and you no longer need to worry about the legal aspects of obtaining your license and staying in compliance, it will allow you to focus more of your time and energy on running your business. When you hire Lauren and her team, you are hiring an attorney who:

  • Worked for six years for the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) litigating alcohol licensing and tax matters on behalf of the Department.
  • Because of her experience working for the SCDOR, has a unique advantage in helping her clients with their SC alcohol licensing issues because of her understanding of how the Department works internally. 
  • Tried over 100 tax and alcohol license cases at the South Carolina Administrative Law Court.
