Apply for a Premises Licence to Sell Alcohol
Pre consultation with authorities
Conditions tailored to your business
Free resubmission if refused
Getting just any Premises Licence can be Disastrous
The key to any Premises Licence are the conditions imposed on it, either by yourself, or by the authorities.
It’s so easy to get it wrong. For instance, people often try to make the application on their own, and so accept all authority recommendations that are suggested, and then face huge problems trying to meet the conditions that are imposed.
Conditions are like rules. And whatever they are, you’ll have to abide by them 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year when selling alcohol.
The Act says the punishment for breaking a condition of your Premises Licence is an unlimited fine, and/or 6 months in prison.
Is this a risk you really want to take?

What are Objections?
It is possible for a premises licence application to be refused. This is why there is the 28 day consultation process. it allows the authorities and the public the opportunity to raise questions, concerns, objections to your application. Some of these objections can be resolved through negotiation, however there are occasions when no compromise can be reached and the application ends up in a Sub- Committee hearing to be determined.
What if my Application is Refused?
Should your application be refused, and you have taken my advice, and I have worked with you to the final conclusion of the application, i.e. the Sub-Committee hearing, I will resubmit your application free of charge. It will not cost you a penny. I will pay all the fees, and provide my time for free, to ensure you are granted your application second time round.
The reason this works, is when an application is refused, the council must provide a statement of reasons as to why the application was refused. The idea is to “go to school” on these reasons and alter the application accordingly.
You have the peace of mind knowing this is a once only investment!
What have you got to lose?
What is my Investment likely to be?
Until I completely understand your business model, I can’t honestly answer that. A premises licence is required for various types of business. Pubs, clubs, shops, Restaurants, take away food businesses, online sales and so on. No two applications are the same. In my opinion the investment you make must reflect your individual circumstance.
For example, if you run a convenience store in a leafy country village, closing at 8.00pm, would you expect to pay the same as a business seeking a licence for a nightclub in central London?
Of course not.
That is why we need a chat at the beginning of the process so my quote to you can be tailored to fit the needs of your business.
To me that is common sense.
