Premises Licenses
A premises license is an official authorization that allows a business or venue to sell alcohol, provide entertainment, or serve late-night food. It is issued by the local licensing authority and ensures that the establishment complies with specific rules to promote public safety and order. Obtaining this license involves meeting certain requirements related to safety, responsible service, and community impact. It helps authorities monitor and regulate activities that could affect neighbors or public wellbeing. Essentially, it's a legal permit that enables a business to operate legally within the boundaries set by local laws.
