Selling alcoholic beverages is a privilege subject to both state and federal control. Each state has some sort of department of alcoholic beverage control. Most states regulate the liquor industry largely by means of licensing. Licenses may be denied for failure to meet specified qualifications on citizenship, residence, and moral character. Licenses may, on application to the liquor board, be transferred.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) within the Treasury Department exercises federal control over the liquor industry under the Liquor Enforcement Act of 1936 (18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1261 et seq.). These statutes authorize the ATF to enforce state statutes affecting the interstate liquor trade.
The following form seeks to transfer a tavern business and the liquor license governing the tavern (subject to the approval of the state liquor licensing board).

In Nevada, there are different types of agreements for the sale of a tavern business, each designed to cater to specific circumstances and preferences. Some common types include: 1. Asset Purchase Agreement: This type of agreement focuses on the sale and transfer of specific assets of the tavern business, such as equipment, furnishings, inventory, licenses, and permits. It outlines the terms for the buyer to acquire these assets and ensures that they are in good condition and comply with state regulations. 2.

The agreement outlines the number of shares to be sold, the purchase price, and any conditions surrounding the transfer of ownership. 3. Lease Assignment Agreement: If the tavern business operates on leased premises, a lease assignment agreement may be required. This agreement allows the buyer to assume the existing lease and take over the tenancy of the tavern. It outlines the terms of the lease, including rent, duration, and any additional obligations or restrictions. 4. Non-competition Agreement: In some cases, sellers may include a non-competition clause in the agreement to prevent the buyer from opening a competing tavern business in proximity for a certain period. This helps protect the seller's interests and prevents them from facing unnecessary competition after the sale. The Nevada Agreement for Sale of a Tavern Business should cover essential aspects such as the purchase price, payment terms, deposit amount, closing date, due diligence period, inventory valuation, licenses and permits transfer, seller's representations and warranties, buyer's obligations, confidentiality, and dispute resolution.
