Who is the only person other than the person named on the license who can operate using that license's BSIS business name and number?

• A. The spouse
• B. An heir
• C. An employee
• D. A contractor

Answer: (B)

The license is issued to a specific operator and tied to that person’s name, business name, and license number. It isn’t freely transferable to just anyone. The only other person who may legally operate under that same license’s name and number is the heir—the person who inherits the business—so there can be continuity of service if the operator dies or becomes incapacitated. If an heir wants to step in, they typically must work with BSIS to document the inheritance and may need to have the license transferred or added to in accordance with BSIS procedures. A spouse, employee, or contractor does not automatically have the right to use that license unless they become the designated transferee or hold their own license.
