ABC Application Process

01

Preparing the ABC Application

• We gather all required information from the applicant—whether you’re filing as a corporation, LLC, or individual.
• Our experts complete the ABC application forms and supporting documents to ensure accuracy and compliance.

02

Scheduling a Signing

• Once the application package is prepared, we schedule a signing appointment with you.
• At this stage, every required form is reviewed and signed so the ABC application is ready for submission.

03

Submitting to the Local ABC District Office

• We personally submit your completed ABC liquor license application package to the appropriate California ABC district office.
• Within a couple of weeks, the ABC processes the application and officially inputs it into their system.

04

Posting the Premises for 30 Days

• After the ABC accepts the application, they issue a 30-day posting notice (commonly called the “ABC 30-day poster”).
• The poster must be displayed at your premises for 30 consecutive days, giving the public notice of your pending liquor license.

05

ABC Investigation and Review

• Following the posting period, the ABC conducts an investigation, which typically lasts several weeks.
• During this phase, the ABC reviews zoning, local approvals, and background checks before making a final decision.

06

Issuance of the Liquor License

• Once the ABC completes its investigation and approves the application, your California liquor license is officially issued.
• We ensure all final steps are completed so your business can begin selling or serving alcohol legally.
