Restaurants and bars
Opening, buying or selling a restaurant or bar means the lease, the entity and the liquor license all have to be ready on the same day.
The license is part of the business
For a restaurant or bar, the liquor license is often what makes the numbers work, and it comes with its own approvals through the MLCC and the local municipality.
We make sure the lease, the purchase or the startup plan accounts for the license, so the timeline for opening is realistic.
