ABC Licensing: Areas of Expertise


Retail: Restaurants, Bars, Bottle Shops, Hotels, B&B’s, Gas Stations

Restaurants, bars, hotels, motels, bottle shops, gas stations and more. If you want to legally have alcohol on site provided to your patrons for sale, you need the right license. I can help you understand the do’s and don’ts, the risks and best practices for proper ABC license operations. If the license is ‘controlled’ (ie. General Type 47, 48, 75 or 21) I have a strong network of California’s finest brokers to find you a license (or sell yours, if you have one).

Import & Wholesale

Bringing wine or mezcal in from out of state? You need an Import license, both with California and with the Feds (TTB). I can guide you on what is appropriate and handle both of these applications for you with minimal effort on your part.

Winery, Brewery, Distillery

The manufacturing licenses are important and particularly confusing in California. Wineries, breweries and distilleries all have different laws governing their operations and exceptions. I can help you understand what you can and cannot do with your 02, 75, 23, 74 or more.
