What must every advertisement by a licensee soliciting or advertising a business contain?

• A. Phone Number
• B. License Number
• C. Owner's Name
• D. Business Address

Answer: (B)

Advertising by a licensee must include the license number. This identifies the specific license under which the work is offered and lets consumers quickly verify licensure with the state licensing authority. It helps deter unlicensed activity and provides a traceable link if any issues arise. In practice, the license number should be shown prominently on all ads—whether on a website, in print, or in other solicitations—so the public can confirm the license is active and belongs to the person or company making the offer. While other contact details like a phone number or address may appear, they do not establish licensure, and the owner's name alone does not serve as proof of licensure.
