Asset Sale Description
ENTER THE SPIRITS INDUSTRY WITH THE FOUNDATION ALREADY BUILT.

A unique opportunity to acquire an established Federal and Ohio spirits licensing platform with years of regulatory history, product approvals, production relationships, professional infrastructure, digital assets and industry resources already in place.

This is much more than a license opportunity. The company has already developed, produced, bottled, federally approved and successfully brought a high-proof spirits product to market in Ohio.

A NEW OWNER HAS TWO EXCITING PATHS:

Build their own spirits brand using the established licensing platform and production network — OR — pursue the previously developed product for resubmission to the State of Ohio beginning in March 2027 with the appropriate product and marketing submission, subject to State review and approval.

For a buyer interested in the previous product, much of the foundation remains established, including federal COLA/label approvals, bottling relationship, custom branded boxes, custom box dies/stamps, label foil molds/hot stamps, supplier relationships, domains and social media platforms.

ESTABLISHED ASSETS & INFRASTRUCTURE:

• Federal TTB Wholesaler Basic Permit
• Ohio High-Proof Spirits Supplier authorization
• Federal TTB/COLA product and label approvals
• U.S. Government GSA Vendor Number
• Established licensed entity with years of regulatory history
• Previously developed and federally approved spirits product
• Potential March 2027 Ohio product resubmission opportunity
• Bottling/production contract with national distiller
• National bottle supplier account
• Custom branded boxes and packaging supplier
• Custom box dies/stamps for existing packaging
• Label supplier with custom foil molds/hot stamps
• Flavoring manufacturer relationship
• International enclosure supplier relationship
• Established CPA firm for accounting, tax and reporting
• Experienced legal counsel familiar with the company and regulatory structure
• Historical compliance, production, bottling, sales and distribution records
• Web domains and established social media platforms/handles
• Seller transition support and industry introductions
• No business debt

The entity has been active for more than three years and maintains organized company, banking, tax, bookkeeping and regulatory records. Insurance and compliance requirements have been maintained through its operating history. For a buyer retaining the prior product and branding, the existing custom packaging tooling and branded production assets can eliminate the need to recreate key packaging components and provide a more direct path toward preparing a future product submission.

MORE THAN JUST LICENSES.

This platform has already navigated product development, federal approvals, production, bottling, packaging, compliance and actual Ohio retail distribution. The previous product achieved 40+ points of distribution throughout Cleveland/Akron with limited marketing investment. These are historical results; the product is not currently being sold in Ohio.

There is no physical facility, employees or inventory included, allowing a buyer to acquire the platform without unnecessary operating overhead.

A buyer can bring their own vodka, whiskey, bourbon, gin, rum, liqueur or other spirits concept and create a new direction — or evaluate relaunching the previously developed product while utilizing its existing approvals, custom packaging assets, supplier network, digital presence and operating history.

Seller has shifted focus to other business interests and will provide an agreed transition period, including introductions to the bottler, suppliers, CPA, legal counsel and other relevant industry contacts.

THE FOUNDATION IS BUILT. THE NEXT MOVE IS YOURS.

All licenses, permits, product submissions and authorizations remain subject to applicable federal and state requirements, ownership/control filings, qualifications and regulatory approvals.

About the Sale
