FAQs
  • How will the new Tennessee pharmacy board regulations change the rules for pharmacy drug compounders?

    The Tennessee Pharmacy Board recently approved new regulations for compounding pharmacies in response to the fungal meningitis outbreak involving New England Compounding Center which sickened 745 people with 58 deaths.

    The new regulations allow the state to:

    1. Take quicker action against a compounder's license when there is a safety issue,
    2. Create a separate licensing category for medicine manufacturers,
    3. Require proof that a manufacturer is registered with the FDA
    4. Require special registration for every pharmacy that performs sterile compounding.

    These new regulations will take effect when the legal notices are published, possibly in July 2013. In addition to these regulations, more actions are being considered. In fact, the board obtained additional staff including three pharmacists and one administrative person to enforce the new regulations.

    Keeping up with pharmacy licensing rules and regulations is challenging, especially if your business operates in multiple states. To gain comfort about your business licenses in an ever-changing industry, let the experts help.

    We can help you obtain all the licenses and registrations you need, as well as help with business license research. For additional help please contact CT Corporation to consult a licensing specialist.

  • How do I obtain a Reinsurance Brokerage License?

    In order to obtain a Reinsurance Brokerage (or Reinsurance Intermediary Broker) license an applicant must generally: (1) Complete a NAIC Uniform Individual Application to be registered with the National Insurance Producer Registry; and (2) Pay both the state license application and state license fee. For non-resident applicants, a certification from their home state is often required as well. However, different states have requirements that vary depending upon their respective jurisdiction.

    Some states have simplistic requirements. In Massachusetts an applicant must: (1) Complete an application form; and (2) Write a check made payable to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Division of Insurance, in the amount of $200.00. For non-resident applicants, a Certificate of Good Standing from your home state indicating you are licensed in good standing as a reinsurance broker is required as well. In Florida, an applicant must: (1) Complete an application for the license and submit appropriate fees. In addition, the applicant must be fingerprinted. Each person applying for the first time in Florida and qualifying for a license as a reinsurance broker shall attach a full detailed credit and character report for the 5-year period immediately prior to the date of application.

    Some states have stringent requirements. In Georgia, applicants need to file a Certification Application for Certified Reinsurer. The applicant must be domiciled and licensed to transact insurance or reinsurance in what is called a "Qualified Jurisdiction." A qualified jurisdiction is a jurisdiction that is 1) an accredited jurisdiction in accordance with the NAIC financial and standards accreditation program; 2) qualified by the Commissioner as a qualified jurisdiction in accordance with the standards set forth in Ga. Reg. § 120-2-78-.08(3)(b); or 3) is a jurisdiction that is designated as a qualified jurisdiction by the Reinsurance Task Force, or working group thereof, and published through the NAIC Committee Process. The application fee is $600 for the initial application, and $700 for an annual renewal. There is a litany of additional requirements for licensure as well.

    We will help you obtain all the licenses your reinsurance company needs. Our license experts will compile all applications for you and provided detailed instructions on how to apply and the fees associated with each application. CT Corporation can complete all applications for you and streamline the process. Please contact CT Corporation to consult a licensing specialist.

  • What is a business license?
    A business license is an approval or permit issued by a government agency that authorizes a business to operate within a specific jurisdiction. This license is often an additional requirement beyond the registration of a business at the state level. Whether a business is required to have a specific license depends on such factors as the nature of the business, types of products sold, and location.
  • How often do business licenses renew?
    Businesses are often reliant upon their own compliance tracking to stay on top of renewals. While the licensing jurisdiction may send a renewal notice, entities should not rely on this reminder method. CT Corporation has developed a Client License Information Center, CLiC, to help manage the renewal process and avoid delinquent charges and fines.
  • How long are business licenses valid?
    The term of a license is entirely dependent on the type of license. Some licenses are good for the life of the business while others must be renewed annually or every two years. However, laws can change frequently so businesses must stay abreast of changes that affect the term of their license.
  • What is a sales tax ID?
    Although Sales and Use Tax registrations would seem to be the most basic of business license filings, the requirements can vary from state to state, county to county and sometimes even by municipality. These applications can be confusing and time consuming. Contact CT Corporation for assistance.
  • What is an EIN?
