Working with Licenses for a Business

View and manage the licenses associated with a business in the business parent data on the Licenses page.

The license information here is consistent with the information that you find on the consolidated Licenses list page. For more information, see Managing Licenses for an Agency.

One way to access the business parent is to select the Businesses tile on the Agency Springboard. On the Businesses list page, click the row for the business parent you are working with. Navigate to the Licenses detail page in the business parent data using the Licenses link in the left-hand navigation panel.

This example illustrates the Licenses page for a business, showing available actions.

Click the Apply button to start a new license application associated with this business. You can also click the Apply for New License button at the top of the page for the business parent.
