First you have to tear your hair out searching for license applications, not even knowing who to call or where to browse, trying to find the appropriate department, the right people, and the correct forms.
The Web is of no help either, since most authorities don't post their applications on the Web, and even those that do, are not making them fillable.
Then you have to wait and hope that you will get the coveted forms promised to you, or you have to arrange to pick them up yourself from numerous governmental offices.
When you finally receive the forms you have to fill them out manually, calculate all the pertaining fields by hand, mess with it if you didn’t get it right the first time, and file away copies in dustbins for later reference. To top it all off, you have to mail them or deliver them yourself and hope that they arrive safely. You have to go through this process over and over again for every license & permit. The licensing difficulties can be summarized as follows:
- Which licenses apply?
- Who administers it?
- How to obtain the application?
- Grappling with filling it out, filing it, and saving it
Corporate entities have additional headaches with the following:
- Separate check requests have to be made for every application
- Licensing is dispersed among different departments and locations
With our system you can now say goodbye to all these hassles. For a minimal amount per license or a carte blanche subscription your life will become easier instantaneously.
The Need to re-Apply for Licenses
Even if you are firmly established, you still may have a need to re-apply for licenses. Some of those occasions are:
- A change in corporate structure
- Adding a location
- Putting up a sign
- Adding a service, item, or, structure, such as an: elevator, alarm, boiler, shed, etc.
- Delivering into new areas
- Moving to a different location

Pitfalls of Not Being Licensed
With pressure against raising traditional taxes municipalities are always on the lookout for alternative revenue streams, which means ever increased vigilance for business license evaders. Many even resort to hiring third party collectors. The pitfalls of not being licensed include:
- You cannot open your new location
- You cannot add the item, service, or structure
- Your location will be padlocked
- You may be hit with costly penalties and interest, or even personal liens
You can now steer clear of such agitations and be in compliance easily with the click of a button.
Saving Time and Money
The S.C. Chamber of Commerce estimates that it takes 47 hours to fill out the state’s paperwork for a typical new business.
Our customers estimate that their licensing staff spends 50% of their time on research.
It takes approximately ½ hour per each license or permit form to just fill it out by hand.
Also consider the time spent to research, acquire, send out, and store each form.
According to Benchmark Consulting International, workers spend 500 hours a year (a quarter of each day!) searching for files and information. Additionally, a misplaced document costs $120 in expenses and lost productivity.
It costs anywhere from $15 to $50 for each check request. Priority requests cost up to $75.
Using the traditional method of manual licensing forces you to:
- Spend hours acquiring the forms
- Spend hours filling out the forms
- Re-submit many rejected applications because of errors
- Mail, fax, or hand deliver the application to the licensing authority
- Rummage thru file cabinets, if you need to find a copy of a filed application
- Spend an inordinate amount of time and money for each check request
We estimate that our service will save you 90% of the time you had to spend per form. Availing yourself of our service will ensure that save you lots of time and money, improve efficiency, and enhance productivity.
