Hi Aj, I'm located here in illinois and im sorta confused here. Are you planning to start up a bar or are you getting ready to start up a draft service business.?if you are searching for rules and regulations, try the illinois liquor control commission.web site is
www.ilcc.gov.pretty sure thats what it is,allmy paperwork is in my work vehicle right now.If it is a bar youre starting up, like pscycodad said,they run by territories.Alot of them in illinois are combining and making mega-distributors. same goes with liquor distributors. If you are joining the draft line biz,make nice with as many you can.Throw them some buisness cards, and give them some tips on possible new openings in your area.Basically the scratch my back theory.I also help them out by replacing parts keg heads-faucets etc. after a while they will kick you back some parts or a lead on a possible account. I have been fortunate and worked with some real nice sales reps,and it works out real well. if you ever have any questions,im always checking in here daily. hope it helps,cya-brianatkcdraft.
