Wholesaler's License

Need to know what kind of wholesale liquor license you need? Each operation and business looking to sell wholesale will require a different kind of license based on the type of business. In general, a Wholesaler’s License allows for sale to retail stores, restaurants, bars, clubs, or shops. Most states recognize a distinction between “full liquor” and “beer & wine.” With wholesaler’s licenses come specific rules and regulations concerning size, location, and storage. Zoning of the property will need to be approved for its specific use and wholesalers will need to apply for a Seller’s Permit from the State Board of Equalization (BOE). In addition to the BOE, some wholesalers may be required to have a Federal Basic Permit with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). ABCliquorlicense.com can help you understand and assist with all the necessary requirements for obtaining the appropriate Wholesaler’s License.
