Business Resource IV – The Permitting/Registration Process for a Winery and Brewery

 I moved to Development Services in October of 2019.  These are two products I developed and I am immensely proud of.  It took several weeks to create.  As far as I know, nothing else like it exists.  It is a comprehensive flowchart for a winery and a brewery of the required local, state, and federal permits, taxes, and registrations.  The top page shows the flowchart and below it is contact data and links to the appropriate government site. When possible, I included links to the appropriate forms.  This is a never-ending project.  In fact, I added another page on resources for breweries and wineries just this month.

This looks pretty simple. However, I burned through approximately 30 drafts and revisions.  In addition, I communicated with numerous federal, state, and local departments and regulatory agencies.
