Liquor License Compliance

What Liquor License Compliance Does And Why You Need A Legal Team

At Viva Beverage Law, there are many tasks we can handle related to helping business owners sell alcohol. Attorney Lauren Acquaviva and her team know how confusing and, at times, frustrating obtaining a liquor license can be. After approval, it can also be stressful to maintain your licenseby staying in compliance with the changing laws. But when you have us at your side, it means you get a legal team who is fully dedicated to ensuring your business is following the law and that you won’t have to worry about legalities as you run your business. If you have questions about Liquor License Compliance, reach out now for assistance!

Liquor License Compliance

Before you are able to sell alcohol, you need to obtain a retail license from the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR). After you get this retail license, you can then apply to sell alcohol. But there are different licenses depending on what you want to sell. When meeting with you, we may ask what types of alcohol you plan to sell and in what ways you are offering them to the public. For instance, certain licenses allow for consumption on-site, and others allow for sales where consumption is taken off-site. If you aren’t sure which license you need based on how you plan to sell alcohol, then contact us today to ensure Liquor License Compliance!

Normally, it takes between 6-8 weeks for an alcohol license application to be processed. You mustpass the necessary site inspections and background checks, post your public notice in the newspaper for no less than 15 days, complete all the required forms, and provide all the requested documentation. However, there can be delays that interfere with this process, such as errors on the paperwork or public protests that result in hearings. However, we have dealt with issues like these and can help you get past them with minimal impact on your business. For more details on what we can do for you, schedule a consultation at your earliest convenience!
