Find a storage space that you can lease. You can negotiate with the owner for the monthly rentals since you’re just starting. Most landlords offer a slightly lower price if you use your charisma and convincing power. When applying for a beverage license, you must consider the types you plan to sell and where such products will be consumed. There are specific laws or regulations that you need to follow as a business owner. For instance, if you’re going to sell alcohol, you shouldn’t sell it to intoxicated persons and minors. As the licensee, you are responsible for observing sale requirements and advertising restrictions.
