Pre Purchase Investigations 

Get piece of mind BEFORE buying a licensed premises 

If you are considering purchasing a licensed premises in Victoria, speak to On Tap Liquor Consulting prior to signing any contracts. Any major decision such as this needs to be an informed one, with all facts available to you. How likely is it that an agent working on behalf of a vendor will give you all of the information relating to a venue if it may come across as a negative? 

We will provide an in depth ‘pre purchase’ investigation into the venue prior to you making any financial commitments. We can; 

1. Ensure that the venue has no major compliance history issues with either the Victoria Police or the VCGLR
2. Ensure that the venue is trading under the most appropriate and cost effective licence category
3. Ensure that there are no licence conditions which will cause day to day operation issues
4. Conduct an amenity audit of the venue to ensure there are no major neighbourhood issues which can cause you problems in the long run
5. And conduct any other audit matter needed taking into account the specifics of the venue. 

Let On Tap Liquor Consulting provide you with that ever important piece of mind before you commit.
