Need for the Document

• A liquor license is a state issued license that lets the applicant sell alcohol in the applicant’s business. Different states may have laws that are specific to them. For example, some states, such as Ghana, directly regulate the distribution, sale, and consumption of alcohol.
• If the applicant’s looking to sell alcohol mainly to compliment food, but doesn’t wish to serve hard liquor, this is the license that the applicant will need.

Information which might help

• There are two different types of licenses the applicant can obtain in order to sell alcohol – on-license and off-license.
