Built for UK small businesses

Compliance software for off-licences and alcohol retailers

Off-licences operate under two layers of compliance: UK employment law (right-to-work, staff records, holiday) and alcohol licensing law (personal licence holder requirements, Challenge 25 records, training). KornerIQ tracks everything in one place — so you can pass any inspection.

Sound familiar?

  • Personal licence holder qualification expiry dates not tracked centrally
  • Right-to-work checks for overseas staff done on paper and misfiled
  • No record of Challenge 25 training completion to show in a licensing inspection
  • Staff visa expiry dates missed — leaving the business exposed to Home Office penalties
  • Holiday requests managed informally — no audit trail if a dispute arises

KornerIQ replaces all of this with one dashboard — built for the way UK small businesses actually run.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance records must an off-licence keep?

Off-licences must maintain right-to-work check evidence for all staff (duration of employment + 2 years), records of Challenge 25 training for staff who sell alcohol, and records of any personal licence holders employed on the premises. KornerIQ stores all these records digitally and tracks their expiry dates.

Do all staff in an off-licence need right-to-work checks?

Yes. The right-to-work duty applies to every employee and worker, regardless of their role. A till operator, stock room staff member or cleaner must all have a valid right-to-work check on file before they start work.

What is the Challenge 25 policy and do I need records of training?

Challenge 25 is an alcohol sales policy requiring staff to ask for age verification from any customer who appears under 25. During a licensing inspection, you may be asked to demonstrate that staff have received Challenge 25 training. KornerIQ logs training completion dates so you can produce this evidence on request.
