Wholesale alcohol licence

Bren1609

Has anyone ever heard of a wholesale beer/alcohol licence or how to apply for one?

Also, does anyone know where to apply for an off sales alcohol licence?

Thanks

best to get an agent to handle it for you, most of the off licence licenses are bought up in advnace by the large retail companies (BWG, ROC etc) with deals done before the pub even closes down so you'll be waiting quite a while if your looking for it yourself.

Get a solicitor to do the permission end of it, put your planning notice in the Irish Examiner as no one ever reads it and you'll get no objections by the local residents, you'll have your licence before the busybodies have a chance to object.

You can expect to pay approximately €170,000 at present.

I've heard the market value of a full license is down to about 140K these days.

I believe there is a wholesale license available. This might be what the OP is about. This does not require the "closing of a pub somewhere" but restricts the sales to cases only. No single cans, bottles, 6 packs allowed. I've no idea how you get one but I've been told they cost about €1,000.

Revenue is a good place to go for this type of info.

The person asked for WHOLSALE, I can't understand why you would need to pay a fee of 140K for that.

Are you trying to tell me that all these new beers and spirits that have arrived in the last few years payed a licencing fee - no way.

No idea how it works but i cant imagine that there is any problem setting up as an agent as long as you meet the tax requiremens. As for setting up a bonded warehouse that has be fairly complicated and costly.

Thats exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone know how to get this?

As a wholesaler, are you legally entitled to deal with an end-customer, rather than a retailer?

For example, if I set myself up as a wholesaler of alcohol, can any Joe Soap open an account with me and I'll supply alcohol to his home on credit.

You'll need a bonded warehouse, must fulfil criteria set out by customs and excise. Speak to your local c+e officer.
