We keep every deadline and dependency moving.
You launch on schedule with nothing dropped.
The compliance side of an alcohol project is rarely one task. It is dozens of interlocking requirements, federal and state filings, premises and construction approvals, bonding, formulas, labels, and deadlines, spread across attorneys, architects, contractors, landlords, distributors, regulators, and your own team. When no one owns the whole picture, things slip through the cracks, and in this industry a single missed approval can hold up an entire opening.
Alcohol Industry Associates serves as your compliance project manager and single point of contact. We coordinate the moving parts, keep every regulatory requirement and deadline on track, and translate between the specialists so nothing stalls. You get one partner accountable for keeping the compliance side of your project moving forward.
Think of us as the person who owns the regulatory critical path, making sure each dependency is handled in the right order and nothing waits on a requirement no one tracked. We coordinate:
When licensing, construction, product approvals, and operations are handled by separate parties who do not talk to each other, the gaps between them are where projects stall. An architect does not track your COLA; your attorney does not file your operational reports; your contractor does not know the bonding requirement that gates your permit.
We sit across all of it on the compliance side, so the dependencies are managed and the whole project keeps moving. One point of contact, one partner who sees how the pieces fit, and a team that does not have to become compliance experts to get open.
Our team includes former regulators with a decade of experience serving the alcohol beverage industry. We bring an insider's understanding of how these matters are actually reviewed, and we work with clients in all 50 states. Start with a consultation →
Common questions about project management for alcohol beverage businesses.
We own the regulatory side of your project end to end: sequencing federal and state filings, tracking every deadline and dependency, coordinating with your attorneys, architects, and contractors on compliance-gated steps, and serving as the point of contact with regulators. In short, we make sure nothing on the compliance side falls through the cracks.
Attorneys and compliance consultants do different things. Your attorney handles legal matters; we handle the regulatory filings, operational compliance, and day-to-day coordination with the TTB and state agencies. We work alongside your attorney, not instead of them, and often coordinate directly with your legal team so nothing is duplicated or dropped.
Yes. Alcohol premises often have compliance requirements that affect construction and layout, and licensing can depend on premises approvals. We coordinate the compliance-dependent steps with your architect, contractor, and landlord so the buildout and the licensing stay in sync.
We can serve as your point of contact with the regulators, which keeps communication consistent and informed. Because our team worked on the regulator side, we understand how to communicate with agencies effectively. You stay informed throughout without having to manage every agency interaction yourself.
Both. New openings have the most moving parts, but expansions, new locations, ownership changes, and multistate rollouts also involve coordinated compliance work across multiple parties. Anytime the compliance side has enough moving pieces to lose track of, project management adds value.
Far less than if you managed it yourself. We handle the coordination, tracking, and filings and bring you decisions and approvals when your input is actually needed. The point of a single point of contact is that you are not the one chasing every dependency.
Yes. We are often brought in when a project has stalled because no one owned the compliance critical path. We assess where things stand, identify what is blocking progress, and take over coordination to get it moving again.
We track every requirement, submission, and approval against its deadline and dependencies, so we know what has to happen next and what it is waiting on. Because we understand how the filings sequence, we can keep the critical path moving instead of discovering a blocker at the last minute.
