Renewals and Transfers

Keep your permits current and move them cleanly between owners or locations, without a lapse that closes your bar.

A license is not a one time event. Permits must be renewed on schedule, and when a business is sold or moved, the license has to transfer correctly or the new owner cannot serve. A missed renewal or a botched transfer can shut a venue down. Gerald Franklin Agency tracks your dates and handles renewals and ownership and location transfers so service never lapses.

Transfers

Buying, Selling, or Moving

When ownership changes or a business relocates, the license must transfer through the state agency. We manage the ownership transfer, the change of location, and the timing so the new owner or new address is covered from day one.
