Your Business Licenses Called\u2014They\u2019d Like Some Respect<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the most overlooked and underserved areas of business compliance is license management.\u00a0 Let\u2019s be honest: ensuring licenses are active and in good standing isn\u2019t exactly the most glamorous part of legal ops. But try operating a car dealership without a dealer\u2019s license, or an urgent care clinic without a medical license and you\u2019ll be yearning for the mundanity of ensuring all of your licenses are in proper order, as you hand over your hard-earned income to Uncle Sam.\u00a0<\/p>

Sure, it sounds simple enough: open up a spreadsheet, list out your licenses, the start dates, the end dates, the renewal deadlines…\u00a0 Set a calendar reminder to check your license spreadsheet once a month\u2026 easy peasy\u2026 that is, when you’re a small business in a single jurisdiction.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

But what happens when your business starts to grow? What happens when you need to rely on stakeholders on the ground to support filings?\u00a0 What happens when a colleague from compliance goes on leave for three months and no one can access her license spreadsheet?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Without a centralized license repository that alerts you when to take action, your business is one illness or layoff away from a major compliance disaster that can lead to lost revenue, financial penalties, and in some cases a felony conviction.<\/p>

Most businesses today manage licenses the same way they manage whose day it is to tidy up the break room and take out the trash: spreadsheets, calendar reminders, and a silent prayer that whoever is responsible doesn\u2019t forget.<\/p>

When we set out to build Traact\u2019s license management module, we were shocked.\u00a0 Not only was there no product dedicated to business licenses on the market, but businesses were managing licenses the same way since the advent of the administrative state. The only thing that had changed was that businesses traded a pen and paper for a keyboard; but a digital spreadsheet is not all that different from a piece of paper with a grid on it.\u00a0<\/p>

When we asked clients how they manage their licenses, we heard some combination of the following:<\/p>
