California LawQuestion 96 of 100
A nail salon is sold to a new owner, who also moves the shop two blocks down the street. What do the establishment rules require?
a.Only the individual licenses matter; the shop itself does not need a license
b.The existing establishment license transfers automatically with the business to the new owner
c.A change of address can simply be reported whenever the next renewal comes due
d.The salon must hold its own current establishment license, and the Board must be notified of the change of ownership and the change of location
Explanation
The business itself has to be licensed as an establishment in addition to every person working there, and the Board must be notified when the establishment changes ownership or moves to a new address. An establishment license does not simply travel with the sale, and waiting until the next renewal to report a move leaves the salon operating outside its licensed address. Saying only individual licenses matter ignores the establishment licensing requirement entirely.
