If the primary qualifying party ceases to serve, how long does the licensee have to notify the department?

When the primary qualifying party of a business ceases to serve, it is essential to promptly notify the appropriate regulatory department to ensure compliance with licensing regulations. In South Carolina, the requirement is to notify the department within 15 days of the qualifying party's departure. This timeframe is crucial as it allows the regulatory body to maintain accurate records of who is responsible for the business activities and ensure that the business remains in good standing. Timely notification is vital to prevent disruptions in the business's operations and to adhere to state laws regarding licensure.
