Proven Resilience in Any Economic Climate

Liquor retail is historically one of the most stable businesses in the world. Our sales have consistently grown, demonstrating strong resistance to inflation, economic downturns caused by geopolitical tensions, and even unprecedented global health crises or pandemics.

Resources

See Liquor License, Tobacco License, and Business License. And to top it off, we have a good reputation.

Business Transfer Process

We provide comprehensive support for acquiring Liquor Licenses, Tobacco Licenses, and Business Licenses. Our firm takes pride in our established reputation for excellence.

Important: We have addressed the most common initial inquiries and requirements on this page. Please review these details thoroughly before proceeding to the next phase of the process.

Phase 1: Initial Preparation

Phase 2: Negotiation & Due Diligence

  1. Letter of Intent (LOI) & Escrow: Agreement on preliminary terms and submission of a $100,000 earnest money deposit to an escrow account. (This deposit is fully protected by the Escrow Agreement during the due diligence process.)
  2. Due Diligence: Comprehensive review of financial records, tax returns, equipment conditions, and operational procedures.
  3. Asset Purchase Agreement (APA): Drafting and execution of the final binding contract.

Phase 3: Approvals & Closing (Estimated 4-6 Months)

In accordance with Alaska State Law, the actual transfer of the business and funds cannot occur until formal written consent is granted by the regulatory authorities.

  1. License Transfer Applications: Immediately following the execution of the APA, formal transfer applications (e.g., Form AB-01) for the Liquor License must be submitted to the AMCO (ABC Board).
  2. Municipal Review & Lease Assignment: The Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) requires a 60-day review (protest period) for the liquor license transfer. Concurrently, lease assignment approval must be secured from the landlord.
  3. State Board Approval: Final written consent from the State of Alaska ABC Board is required. No controlling interest or business operation can be transferred before this approval is officially issued.
  4. New Business License Application (Buyer): Because an Alaska State Business License cannot be transferred, the buyer must apply for a new State Business License and any other non-transferable local permits. (Recommended: 2-3 weeks prior to the closing date to avoid any gap in operations).
  5. Final Inventory Audit: Once all regulatory approvals are secured, a physical count of merchandise and liquor stock is conducted immediately prior to the closing date.
  6. Closing & Handover: The buyer funds the remaining balance into the escrow account. The escrow agent then disburses the final payment to the seller, followed by the key exchange and the official transition of ownership.
  7. Relinquish Existing License (Seller): Upon completion of the closing, the seller formally cancels/relinquishes their existing Business License. (Effective: On the exact day of closing).

Have this store for your successful life.

Runing a license business is so easy. It will be good for your retirement with some income.

Rather than buying an ordinary company at a very attractive price, it would be many times better to buy a very attractive company at a normal price.
