A retailer came to CT Corporation to help identify and file for the requisite licenses and permits to open a new location on a tight deadline.
The client operates both online and brick and mortar retail space with complex licensing and permitting needs, as evident from their multi-faceted business model: consignment, sales of second-hand goods (including luxury items such as fine jewelry and exotic animal skin items), coupled with the provision of food and beverages at their on-location cafes.
The CT Corporation solution

- set the client up on CLiC to fully outsource all their license management.
The outcome
Timeline met. The client's flagship retail store opened on-time.
Revenue protected. By fulfilling the requirement and renewing its license, the company avoided losing substantial revenue and sanctions.
