Liquor Stores financing
The license is the asset; the shelves hold the cash.
A transferable license makes these stores trade hands constantly, and the acquisitions run on SBA timelines. Meanwhile the inventory is dense and doesn't spoil — cash sits on the shelves ahead of every holiday run.
The financing reality
Your money moves on a cycle. So should your capital.
A store acquisition with the license included commonly runs around $500,000.
A typical situation, not a quote.
