Who can be a qualifying individual of an OTI?
A qualifying individual is the person who possesses the OTI experience and necessary character to qualify the OTI applicant for licensing. The qualifying individual must be: (1) for a sole proprietorship, the applicant sole proprietor. (2) for a partnership, at least one of the active managing partners, but all partners must execute the application. (3) for a corporation, at least one of the active corporate officers. Corporate officers include president, vice president, secretary or treasurer. Positions which are largely descriptive of job function, i.e., director of operations or vice president of export, typically are not recognized by state authorities as officers of a corporation.
