Florida Business Investments, Inc. is as close to a "One Stop" hospitality Real Estate Brokerage firm that you will encounter. Bob Lasek, Broker, President has successfully brokered and closed over a thousand transactions of hospitality businesses and liquor licenses in the past 29 years. Our expertise encompasses a thorough knowledge of the industry; including real estate and business brokerage, market and business analysis, site selection, lease negotiation, zoning requirements, filing applications with local and state agencies, and the brokering of Florida Alcoholic Beverage Licenses.

Florida is comprised of 67 counties and over 900 municipalities all with different zoning requirements, codes and ordinances. There are also several different state governmental agencies regulating your business. Finding the answers to all of the information that one would need to make any type of intelligent business decision is absolutely mind-boggling. "NO WORRIES, WE DO IT ALL FOR YOU!"

Florida Business Investment, Inc., will prepare the proper applications to obtain several different types of licenses issued by the Division of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco.

Florida Liquor License Loans

Florida Business Investments can arrange favorable financing for the purchase of a Liquor License for a qualified buyer. FBI has an affiliation with lending institutions, banks, and private lenders that have very competitive interest rates and terms. Over the last three decades we have striven to affiliate with proven and reputable lenders that can best suit your financial requirements.

Florida Business Investments is a licensed real estate company specializing in the sale of Alcoholic Beverage Licenses and hospitality businesses. Therefore, we look for long term relationships with our clients. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best possible knowledge and expertise, thereby allowing them to make an informed business decision.

Florida Business Investments does not directly lend or fund the purchase of a Liquor License and we never Buy & Sell Licenses. We strongly believe this is a conflict of interest. Private lenders, unlike lending institutions and banks are not regulated by the State or Federal Government. Therefore you must take extreme care and examine the loan documents and security agreement very carefully before you commit to the terms and conditions.

Corporate Clients / General Information

Responsibility, Integrity, Confidentiality and Getting the Job Done is what we all look for in a business relationship. Florida Business Investments has assisted several private and publicly traded corporations such as Grocery and Drug Store Chains, Private Wholesale Clubs and Liquor Store Chains in obtaining Florida Liquor Licenses. Bob Lasek is an expert in this field and has also successfully helped several chain Restaurants acquire zoning and all the necessary licenses required to open new locations through out the state of Florida. Over the past three decades, Bob has personally brokered the sale of more than 1000+ Restaurants, Bars, Nightclubs & Liquor Stores.

Zoning laws vary greatly from county to county and their respective municipalities. Many counties in Florida have Blue laws and require a special exception or conditional use zoning which results in a public hearing and council meeting for the granting of a liquor license to a particular location. There are also distance requirements from churches and schools to consider and sometimes like businesses and public buildings, parks etc. There have been untold millions of dollars wasted by chains that have purchased property and built a store, only to find out that the zoning will not permit the sale of liquor.

Florida Business Investments will accommodate your liquor license acquisition in a confidential, efficient, and timely manner. We will prepare the Purchase Agreement, the Beverage Transfer Application and conduct all the appropriate UCC-1 and lien searches. In addition, we will do a thorough search with the Division of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco to verify that the license is in good standing and can be transferred to a qualified Buyer.

If you should have any additional questions about our services, please contact Bob Lasek either by E-mail or telephone.
