As in any kind of business, you have to make sure that you have your licenses and permits taken cared of before you do anything so as not to jeopardize your operations caused by some laws and restrictions that you may have skipped or missed to follow. Also,  make sure that you have checked with the Zoning authorities and got approval for your liquor store to be where you want it to be.

Have you started contacting suppliers? Have considered safety and security for your liquor store?

Consider making a Business Plan to serve as your guide for your operation. It is the best move you will ever make while starting up because this plan will become your "Street Map" and guide you where you want your business to be from beginning to its normal operations. You can follow the Business Plan Guide at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/opadhome/mtdpweb/busplano.htm 

It is a long way, from start-up. It will require lots of patience and perseverance but it is one good business to go into, despite some apprehensions.

Good luck
