Did You Know You Can Finance a Liquor License?

In the hospitality industry, having a liquor license is a valuable asset. It allows your business to serve alcohol and bring in additional revenue. However, acquiring a liquor license in Florida does not mean simply making a purchase on the market. The state regulates liquor licenses, and obtaining one can be complex. Furthermore, they are limited in number, depending on the size of a county and the type of license. Finally, they can be expensive to purchase outright if they are even available. But did you know that you can finance a liquor license?

Should I Own or Finance a Liquor License?

Owning a liquor license means that you purchase it in full, although you still have to renew it annually. To finance a liquor license means that you take out a loan to cover the asset’s cost and make payments on the loan over time.

If you’re looking to obtain a liquor license without the significant payment outright, you may wonder if financing a liquor license is the right decision. There are a few things to consider when making this decision:

How long do you plan on owning the business?
What type of liquor license do you need?
Can you comfortably make monthly payments?
How important is it for you to have full ownership of the liquor license?
Owning a liquor license gives you the ability to sell it in the future if you decide to exit the alcohol business, which can provide a valuable source of capital for your company.
However, when you finance a liquor license, it allows you to spread out the cost of the asset over time, making acquiring a liquor license more affordable for your business, especially for a startup.

With all the regulations and fees associated with liquor licenses, it’s crucial to understand the options available to you. Ultimately, the decision to own or finance a liquor license outright is one that you should make with the help of an experienced professional.
