Book a ConsultationWhat we offer
A liquor licence isn’t a formality — it’s the legal authority to trade. We manage the full lifecycle, from a new application through to renewals, amendments, objections, and appeals, so your business stays licensed without the process becoming a distraction.
New Liquor Licence Applications
End-to-end applications for on-consumption, off-consumption, distribution, micro-manufacturing, and National Liquor Authority licences, matched to your business model and premises.
Licence Renewals, Transfers & Change of Ownership
We manage renewals before they lapse and handle transfers arising from a sale, restructure, or change of entity, keeping your business trading without interruption.
Trading While Transfer Is Pending Applications
Where ownership is changing hands, we secure interim authority to trade legally while the formal transfer is finalised.
Licence Alterations, Amendments & Relocations
Changes to licence conditions, premises alterations, additional branches, or a full relocation — we manage the amendment process with the relevant board.
Extended Trading Hours, Sunday Trading & Special Event Licences
Applications for extended hours, Sunday trading, and temporary or special-event licences for functions, festivals, and once-off trading needs.
Objection Management & Written Representations
Where an application draws objections, we prepare written representations and manage the response process to protect the outcome.
Appeals & Tribunal Matters
Representation in appeals before the Liquor Licensing Tribunal where an application is refused or a licence condition is disputed.
Compliance Audits, Municipal & Zoning Compliance
Regular audits against licence conditions, municipal by-laws, and zoning and land-use requirements, identifying risk before it becomes a compliance breach.
SAPS, Municipality & Liquor Board Liaison
Direct liaison with SAPS, local municipalities, and the Liquor Board on your behalf throughout the application and compliance lifecycle.
Regulatory Advice & Ongoing Licence Management
Ongoing advisory support and licence administration, so compliance is managed proactively rather than only when a renewal or dispute arises.
Why it matters
An unlicensed or non-compliant premises is a business risk, not an administrative detail.
Trading without a valid licence, missing a renewal deadline, or falling foul of a licence condition can mean fines, suspension, or losing the right to trade altogether. The application and compliance process involves multiple authorities — SAPS, your local municipality, and the Liquor Board — each with their own requirements and timelines.
We manage that process directly, so business owners can focus on running the business, not chasing paperwork across three different regulators.
