You’ll love that most of our processes are online, but we aren’t far for questions, concerns or stumbling blocks to your “Grand Opening” day. Our simplified application process has been designed for you to conveniently complete, pay, and submit (for restaurants, convenience stores, day spas, gourmet shops, etc.), online. Our team of former Special Agents will be reviewing your application for the most common errors that result in license issuance delays and/or denied licenses. Apply with ABC Consulting to receive expert guidance!
Alcohol Licenses, business registrations and Virginia lottery permits are issued by the government and allow you to legally conduct business – and if you don’t fill out the paperwork correctly or apply for the wrong type of license, it could hold up your opening! ABC Consulting can make sure that every form is filled out correctly and completely so that your permits don’t get held up. Then, our TOAST Academy is also conveniently available, online, for the training of your employees. T.O.A.S.T. VA® and BREW VA™ and WINE VA™ (available Summer 2019) is updated, continuously, to reflect Virginia regulation changes.
We offer so many services for small businesses in Virginia – right on our website, from the convenience of your home office. ABC Consulting is here to help you grow and serve safely, and your success is our priority!
