How to Buy a Madera County Liquor License

In California, there are two ways for business owners to obtain a liquor license in Madera County. The first way is to purchase an alcohol license from the California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).

1. Secure the location: Choose the location where you will operate your business and sell liquor. The business establishment must be rented, leased, or purchased. 
2. Select your liquor license: Select the proper Madera County liquor license that you need for your type of business. Then, choose whether you will attain it from the CA ABC or from the secondary market using a liquor license broker, such as Liquor License Auctioneers.
3. Open your escrow account: It’s essential that you create an escrow account with a third-party company. This escrow account will be where all financial transactions associated with the transfer and purchase of the Madera County alcohol license will be held until the closing of the sale.
4. Survey the location: A contractor will need to survey the property at this time. Liquor License Auctioneers can complete this step on your behalf.
5. Complete your ABC Application: Send the completed ABC Application for a Madera County alcohol permit to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for review. Our team of liquor license brokers can assist you in submitting the ABC Application. 
6. Post a notice: Once the CA ABC Application for a Madera County liquor license has been approved, the California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) will mail you a notice of intent to sell liquor. This notice must be posted at your place of business for 30 days. 
7. Submit to investigation: After the 30-day time frame has passed, the Department of California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) will conduct a final inspection of your business location. They will determine if you have met all of the requirements for selling liquor at your business. 
8. Receive the liquor license: When all the previous seven steps have been completed, you will be sent the official Madera County liquor license in the mail. When you receive the alcohol license, you are instructed to post it at your business. 

If you have met all eight of the above steps, you have fulfilled the requirements set by the state of California’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for securing a Madera County alcohol license.
