Transferring your liquor license is not a lengthy or complicated process, the steps outlined below walk you through what you need to do.

 

 

Transfer of your liquor licence

 

You can transfer a liquor licence when you buy or sell a business. This allows the new business owner to trade under the existing licence.

Liquor & Gaming NSW allow a business to continue operating while it considers a licence transfer.  Provisional approval is usually given and the official confirmation of the transfer with follow later.

The licence transfer does not become effective until Liquor & Gaming NSW give provisional approval.

I am Paul Leach and I specialise in working with Cafe owners to make sure that they get the best return possible when they sell their cafe. Having sold nine of my own food businesses over the last 23 years I have learnt a thing or two about how the sale process works. I have sold most of my businesses myself and a couple through a broker so I have seen the pros and cons of both methods first hand. I now use my experience to guide cafe owners through the sale process.
