Why would any person choose to get licensed as a qualifying agent for a company as opposed to a sole proprietor? Is it that you have protection against yourself personally if you are a qualifying agent for an LLC if a claim comes at you? And that a company would only allow you do work for them if you were a qualifying agent for their company, meaning you could not get work elsewhere with your license? I'm on the fence about which license I should apply for. It seems very handy to be able to use your license elsewhere or as a sole proprietor. I have a 2 person partnership LLC currently that would be taking in the work.
