3. From the menu, select Business Affiliations. 

4. eLIPSE displays the View Accounts screen. 

Use the Select Business Account drop-down to select the business whose affiliated license you want to view. (Some accounts have more than one business in the list.)

To the right of the Add Affiliations label, click the Add control.

eLIPSE will open 4 forms for you to add 4 affiliations.

Remove an affiliation

To remove a business affiliation, you make it “Inactive”. Here’s how.

1. Follow the instructions above to view your business affiliations.
2. eLIPSE displays a box with all of your business affiliations. Locate the affiliation you want to remove. 

1. Under Affiliation Status, click the drop-down list.
2. Click Inactive.
3. Above the list, click the Update button.

eLIPSE removes that person from the list of Active affiliations. That person will appear in your list of Inactive affiliations, and the End Date will be the date you made them Inactive.

NOTE: Changing a Person of Record

If you want to add or remove a Person of Record (e.g., Real Estate Broker of Record or Master Plumber of Record), you must submit a request to your Board. You cannot do this yourself using Business Affiliations.

The Board Staff will review the submitted application and reach out if further information is needed.
