An ABC license, or Alcoholic Beverage Control license, is a permit issued by a state or local government that allows a business to sell alcoholic beverages. The issuance of ABC licenses is usually regulated by a state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control board or similar agency.
To obtain an ABC license, a business typically must meet certain requirements, such as having a valid business license and operating in a location zoned for the sale of alcoholic beverages. In addition, the business owner or manager may need to pass a background check and provide proof of liability insurance
