License Types

Wholesaler licenses or known as distributor licenses or supplier licenses. And they’re broken down into four main categories liquor or distilled spirits, wholesalers, wine wholesalers, beer wholesalers and cider wholesalers. A wholesaler is the entity, party or person that sells to retailers such as bars, restaurants or liquor stores, as opposed to selling directly to consumers.

Ways To Do Business

There are a few ways to do business as a wholesaler.

The wholesaler license can be standalone license, but depending on the state, it can be combined with an importer license, which allows the wholesaler to resell the products that he or she has imported.

In a similar way, a contract manufacturer can obtain a wholesaler license to sell the product that he or she has manufactured.

Yet another way to do business is to combine your wholesaler license with an exporter license. This allows you to purchase liquor for resale in other countries.
