Qualifier

Definition

The licensed individual whose credential lets the company pull permits and sign off work.

Why It Matters

The qualification belongs to the person and not the company, so if the seller holds it the business keeps working only through a short statutory window after they leave, sixty days in Florida and six months in Washington. Line up a replacement as a closing condition and confirm the state will accept them before you rely on it. Where a technician on staff qualifies, find out what keeping them costs, because their leaving and the license leaving are the same event.
