Premises Licenses

A premises license is required by a business in order to sell alcohol, provide entertainment, or offer late-night refreshments. This license outlines the activities permitted, business operating hours, and designated areas where alcohol can be sold.

Our experienced solicitors understand the importance of securing a premises license and will work diligently to ensure your application is successful. Once instructed, you will be assigned a dedicated solicitor or fee earner who will handle your case from start to finish.

We prioritise client service, which means your emails and phone calls will be answered promptly by the solicitor or fee earner managing your matter.

Things to Consider

  • Premises licenses are only for the venue of the business. Therefore, a personal license will also need to be obtained, giving the individual the legal right to sell alcohol.
  • There will be a 28-day consultation period before reaching the final decision.
  • Any objections to your application may be resolved through negotiation.

How long does it take?

The timeframe to obtain a premises license can range from four weeks to four months or longer. This will depend on whether there are any objections from the local authority or the public, as well as the nature of the goods or services the business intends to provide.
