Bars and breweries face some of the highest liability exposure in the service industry due to liquor liability laws. If an intoxicated patron causes an accident after leaving your establishment, you can be held legally responsible. An LLC is critical to protect your personal assets and is typically required for liquor license applications. Seattle is home to ~80K businesses and has a population of 737K, making it a thriving market for bars and breweries. Forming your LLC in WA provides personal asset protection and positions your bars and breweries business for growth in the Seattle metro area.
