An individual proposes to contract in their own name as a sole proprietorship. To whom may the registration or certification be issued?

Correct Answer

A) Only to that individual

Section 489.119(1): "If an individual proposes to engage in contracting in the individual’s own name, or a fictitious name where the individual is doing business as a sole proprietorship, registration or certification may be issued only to that individual." A licence issued to a person does not follow that person into a company they form later; 489.119(2) requires a fresh application to qualify a business organization.

Answer Options
A
Only to that individual
B
To the fictitious name
C
To the individual, but only after designating a separate qualifying agent
D
To the individual or to a corporation the individual later forms
