It is important to understand all licensing obligations before doing business in Utah. Each city and county have unique requirements and procedures.

At the state level, the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing and other agencies are responsible for the licensing and regulation of certain occupations and professions.

FAQs
  • I want to sell a franchise in the State of Utah. Do I need a license to do this?

    The states vary from requiring extremely detailed applications to requiring a simple registration for Franchise requirements. In Utah, anyone who sells or offers to sell business opportunities must comply with their Business Opportunity Disclosure Act. Sellers of business opportunities are required to file with the Division of Consumer Protection (the Division) the information that is required under Utah Code and receive from the division proof of filing.

    If you as a franchisor are in compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules then you are exempt from filing with the Division, however, instead of filing disclosure documents you must file a notice of exemption stating that you are in substantial compliance with the requirements of the FTC.

    If you sell a franchise in the state without filing the required information you could be subject to a statutory fine of $2,500 for each violation of the statute. In addition you would be subject to an order to cease and desist if you do not file the required information within 15 days of receiving written demand. If you violate this order you will be subject to a $5,000 fine for each violation. If you fail to provide information in a single disclosure statement to a purchaser at least 10 days prior to execution of the franchise agreement, the purchaser is entitled to rescind the agreement, to an award of attorney fees and a judgment for the amount of the greater of $2,000 or actual damages.

    This process can be very confusing and the penalties for non compliance are harsh. CT Corporation can help you by researching your specific franchise’s requirements, and compiling a research packet with all of the information you need to start selling in Utah. Further, if you do not want to deal with the hassle of submitting applications CT Corporation can complete all the applications for you and streamline the process. The pricing for our services vary depending on the extent of services you wish CT Corporation to perform. For more information on how we can streamline the process of business licensing, 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?
    An EIN is a unique nine digit number assigned by the IRS is used to identify business entities and is also known by other names such as 'Federal Tax Identification Number' and 'Tax Identification Number (TIN)'.
