After serving as General Manager of the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, Bert Hick founded Rising Tide Consultants, Ltd., specifically to assist businesses in BC with the complex issues around liquor licensing.

Rising Tide Consultants Ltd., recognizes that negotiating leases, arranging financing, dealing with construction, stocking and staffing in order to open your business in a timely and cost-efficient manner is extremely time consuming. This is why we will manage your liquor license application for you, navigating any unforeseen delays and expediting approval in a professional and timely manner.

We are building on more than 24 years of experience which translates into an unmatched understanding of municipal and provincial liquor licensing regulations, policies, procedures, and a network of relationships with government and regulatory officials. We will coordinate the details of your liquor licensing needs and give you the best advice to achieve success.

By overseeing the complex process from planning to execution, we will save you time, stress and money.
