BC Liquor Licensing

Liquor Licensing in British Columbia

The application process for any liquor license, can become costly and lengthy if done incorrectly. At Rising Tide Consultants we will facilitate the liquor license application process to obtain a license. In addition to our liquor consulting services, Rising Tide provides many other support services needed for successful operation of a liquor licensed establishment.

Why is it difficult to obtain a liquor license?

There are a number of issues that affect the efficient processing of a liquor license in British Columbia and across Canada. These include:

1. Government legislation, regulations and liquor board policies
2. Building permits, development permits, and building code requirements
3. Zoning and land use requirements
4. Enforcement and compliance history
5. Specific local government bylaws and liquor licensing policies

Rising Tide Consultants will expertly guide your application through BC liquor laws and policies as well as municipal government requirements.
