Can I transfer my current liquor license to my new business since I plan on closing down the old one?
It will still be under my name but new entity name. But still a LLC. Also with new partners, not the same partner on the old liquor license.

Licensees may not “transfer” a license, in the way transfer is commonly understood (i.e. licenses
may not be sold or given from one person or company to another). Here I understand that you wish to transfer it to another business. But remember all you had to go through to obtain the license? Notifying the Community Board? The 500 foot rule if it was applicable? Your new establishment is under the same form of scrutiny. You must, as the licensee, submit new information regarding the business, etc. I would speak with an attorney in your area and discuss the matter in detail. Let him or her know what you intend to do and where you intend to move. Good luck with the new business.
