Liquor License Application

Do you need to apply for a Liquor License for your business in South Africa? Our Specialist who specialises in Liquor Licenses Applications can represent you throughout the entire Process – starting with Phase #1 at only R2990 and completed in 48 hours.

 The Liquor Licence Application Process is a lengthy process across South Africa. An Official Liquor Licence Application has to be submitted at your Provincial Liquor Board (or National Liquor Board). Each province (and sometimes each municipality) has different Liquor Laws and processes. As each application takes a lot of time, effort, experience and specialised knowledge to manage and be considered by the Liquor Boards – they charge hefty fees. The total cost of this process will be in excess of R10 000. Apply on this page below or call us toll free.

Basic Requirements for a Liquor License Application (Phase #1)

*Important: The premises from which you trade will need the correct zoning / operating / property rights in order to operate the intended business. If it does not, you have 3 options in which we will guide you: (1) Align with a business partner whose premises has rights; (2) Apply for the required rights for your current premises; or (3) Rent a premises with the required rights.
