Alcohol Quota License Holders – Don’t be Bullied into Surrendering Your License! We Can Help!

  • Your license holds value for your business and may be your strongest asset.
  • Don’t be bullied into surrendering your license to brokers or other finance agents for fear of loss or foreclosure.
  • In many cases, we are able to negotiate with lenders that may agree to forbearance of loan payments pending confirmation of re-opening or alternative options to help you keep your license;
  • If forbearance is not an option for your lender, it may be possible to sell your license to make up for payments already made and settle loan and financing balances.
