# Establishment license

The license a business or its premises holds, separate from any worker's own.

Two permissions usually stand between a trade and its customers, and a buyer who checks one has checked half. The individual credential belongs to the person and walks out of the door with them. The establishment license belongs to the company or to the address, and a failed inspection of the premises suspends it while a worker's own lapse suspends only the worker. They renew on different clocks and in several states they are issued by different offices. Ask for both, and ask which one the seller is personally named on, because that is the one that does not come with the business.

Not dated: A definition is editorial: what a term means, why it matters, and an example. None of it reads a source that can go stale, so there is no date to take and a stamped one would be the build time wearing a costume.
