OHIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Page 2 PLANT HEALTH DIVISION - PESTICIDE & FERTILIZER REGULATION SECTION 8995 E MAIN STREET, REYNOLDSBURG, OH 43068-3399 PESTICIDE BUSINESS LICENSE: A pesticide business license is required for a business that applies pesticides to the property of another for hire, or solicits and takes orders to apply pesticides, or conducts diagnostic inspections for WDI in a contemplated real estate transaction. Considered as a Corporate or Parent Company. Proof of insurance is required for this license. COI REQUIRED PESTICIDE REGISTERED LOCATION LICENSE: Any additional location or branch operating in Ohio with the same name of a Pesticide Business that operates in Ohio. Must have a Pesticide Business License associated with it and the Certificate of Insurance must also list this location. COI REQUIRED PESTICIDE SOLICITATION BUSINESS LICENSE: A company that solicits only to obtain business. This license type is prohibited from making pesticide applications. A solicitation company contracts with a licensed pesticide business in Ohio to perform applications. DEALER: A person or facility who distributes Restricted Use Pesticides (RUP) or pesticides whose use are further restricted by the director to the ultimate user or to a commercial applicator who is employed by the pesticide dealer. A license is required for each location or outlet within the state from which the person distributes pesticides. Yearly reporting of sales is required. Reports of restricted use sales for the period July 1st to June 30th, and are due by July 31st of each year. DOING BUSINESS AS DBA: A DBA is a name that represents the business in place of the owners first and last name (if an individual), or the legal name of the business entity, where applicable (such as a corporation or LLC). It is also referred to as “fictitious business names, assumed business names and trade names”. All these terms mean the same thing. BUSINESS TYPES Sole Proprietorship: Is a business entity that is owned and run by one individual. There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business. Partnership: Is a business entity where owners, called partners, share both the risks and benefits of the business. This includes any profits or debts. Corporation: Is treated as a separate entity from the owners of the business. This type of business consists of a number of shareholders, each of whom has some say in the company’s actions. The more shares held by an individual, the more votes they have regarding company policies. In addition to being treated as a separate legal entity, corporations are often given the same rights as human beings in certain legal matters. Limited Liability Company (LLC): According to the US Internal Revenue Service, a limited liability company, similar to a corporation, allows owners to have limited personal liability for debts and actions of the company. The LLC also has features of the partnership structure, which provides management flexibility and the benefit of pass-through taxation. Owners of a LLC are often referred to as members. Most US states do not restrict this type of ownership.
