Licenses and Permits
 

Generally, all businesses are required to register with state authorities, and the price of a business license will vary from state to state.

A yearly payment will be needed in order to maintain the license.

Capital for utilities, sound materials, taxes, and staff are included in the additional cost to build a new bar. A newly-built bar business may need to order drinks, which could cost six to eight thousand dollars. When ordering beverages, you would estimate it with forty-five percent for the budget for beer, five percent for wine, forty percent to liquor, and ten percent for mixed drinks. In addition to that, the money must be budgeted for business marketing, which will bring buyers through the door of your business. The cost you spent will depend upon on the form of marketing.
