Missouri's alcohol bond is an excise-tax bond tied to tax collection, so only manufacturers, wholesalers and solicitors post it; by-the-drink bars and package stores need no license bond.
Missouri's alcohol bond is an excise-tax bond tied to tax collection, so only manufacturers, wholesalers and solicitors post it; by-the-drink bars and package stores need no license bond.
Who posts a bond in Missouri: Manufacturers, wholesalers and solicitors of liquor, wine and 5% beer (an excise-tax bond). The regulator is the Missouri Div. of Alcohol & Tobacco Control (ATC).
Typical amounts: Set by ATC on tax liability, commonly $1,000–$10,000+. You pay a small percentage of the bond amount as your premium. We confirm the exact figure before you pay.
Requirements and amounts change and vary by license class and locality — we verify your exact requirement with the state before you pay.
Yes but narrow — RSMo 537.053 (clear-and-convincing proof; no social-host). Liquor liability is separate from the bond.
Your standard general-liability policy excludes alcohol claims — so a single incident can hit you with no coverage. When we handle your bond, we also line up liquor liability, property/BOP and workers' comp. The bond satisfies the state; the insurance protects your business.
