The Beginning


Today is the day I give licensing professionals a voice!

I think the Title of this blog says a lot about the challenges facing those of you who are responsible for the licensing and permitting of your business. In a time when an organization’s “Bottom Line” is the highest priority, it is difficult to find the time to get licensing and permitting done right. Many of you have spent hours, if not days, looking for the jurisdictional requirements to open a new site or bring your operations under compliance only to find you cannot FIND what you need.

Lions, Tigers and Bears… oh my!

Just like those fearful words spoken in the Wizard of Oz, Licensing is SCARY! You navigate a veritable forest of licensing and permitting every time you wade through renewals, hunt for applications, verify an inspection, decipher an ordinance, or transfer ownership for your business.

I have navigated my fair share of “forests” and I hope to explore my licensing and permitting experiences and those of my colleagues in this blog. I want to teach, learn and collaborate with you, my readers, Enjoy!
