Las licencias de Agencia/Compañía que exigen revisiones de antecedentes de funcionarios/propietarios también exigirán revisiones de antecedentes de los nuevos funcionarios/propietarios. Esto no se aplica a los funcionarios actuales que han cambiado de puesto.

Please note that if you sell your insurance agency, you can arrange for the business name, assets, liabilities, building and equipment to transfer to the new owner as part of the sale, however, neither your license nor appointment is transferable. A license or appointment issued under the Florida Insurance Code is valid only to the person or entity named and is not transferable to another person. Please see s. 626.441,E.F.
