3 Types of Liquor Licenses You Should Know

2COP: This type of license allows your establishment to sell beer and wine for consumption on premises as well as package sales. Your customers may consume them inside or outside of your establishment. This is typically used for restaurants and bars.

Keep in mind, the price depends on your location and population. However, the annual renewal fee is $392 in a majority of Florida's counties.

4COP-SFS (Special Food Service License): Consumption on premise ONLY beer, wine, and spirits. You must meet the requirements which are the same across 90% of Florida. These requirements are a venue of 2,500 square feet or more, licensed to serve 150 persons or more with division of hotel and restaurants, and must maintain 51% or more of gross sales in food and non alcoholic beverages (49% or less beer, wine, and spirits.

4COP/3PS Quota License: This is the highest series available in Florida. Restaurants, bars, and lounges who want to sell liquor in addition to beer and wine need the 4COP license. It allows consumption on/off premises and package sales of beer, wine, and spirits. If an establishment plans to engage in bottle sales for off site consumption, the 4COP license is required.

Thanks to the way that these license are distributed, you will have limited competition in your sector. Prices are based on supply and demand. Therefore, you can expect to pay between $50,000-$700,000 depending on the county you operate in. Don't worry. Third party financing is available with no credit check required.
