Which name style is NOT permitted for John Burroughs when applying for an individual contractor's license?

• A. John Burroughs, LLC
• B. John Burroughs Contractors
• C. John Burroughs, Inc.
• D. Burroughs Plumbing Services

Answer: (C)

In applying for an individual contractor's license, the name style used must reflect the individual status of the contractor rather than suggesting a corporate entity. The correct choice indicates a name style that implies incorporation. When someone uses "Inc." in their name (as in "John Burroughs, Inc."), it denotes a corporation, which is not allowed for an individual contractor's license. On the other hand, options that include terms such as "LLC," "Contractors," or service descriptions like "Burroughs Plumbing Services" can be suitable if they don't imply a corporate structure. This understanding is crucial for license applicants to ensure compliance with licensing regulations and properly reflect their business structure.
