Licensing Difficulties People in licensing departments describe the frustrating process of licensing as nothing short of maddening. First you have to tear your hair out searching for business license applications, not even knowing who to call or where to browse, trying to find the appropriate department, the right people, and the correct forms. The Web is of no help either, since most authorities don't post their applications on the Web, and even those that do, are not making them fillable. Then you have to wait and hope that you will get the coveted forms promised to you, or you have to arrange to pick them up yourself from numerous governmental offices. When you finally receive the forms you have to fill them out manually, calculate all the pertaining fields by hand, mess with it if you didn’t get it right the first time, and file away copies in dustbins for later reference. To top it all off, you have to mail them or deliver them yourself and hope that they arrive safely. You have to go through this process over and over again for every business license & permit. The licensing difficulties can be summarized as follows:  Which licenses apply? Who administers it? How to obtain the application?

Saving Time and Money The S.C. Chamber of Commerce estimates that it takes 47 hours to fill out the state’s paperwork for a typical new business. Our customers estimate that their licensing staff spends 50% of their time on research. It takes approximately ½ hour per each license or permit form to just fill it out by hand. Also consider the time spent to research, acquire, send out, and store each form. According to Benchmark Consulting International, workers spend 500 hours a year (a quarter of each day!) searching for files and information. Additionally, a misplaced document costs $120 in expenses and lost productivity. It costs anywhere from $15 to $50 for each check request. Priority requests cost up to $75.
