Should You Hire a New Qualifying Agent If You're Having Problems With Your Current One?
Often yes. A business can have more than one qualifier at the same time, and bringing on a second one — their own separate license, not a backup on your current one — while you sort out a strained relationship is common and lowers your risk.
Is bringing on a second qualifier actually an option?
Yes — see our guide on whether a business can have more than one qualifying agent. It's common, and it doesn't require anything from your current qualifier to make happen.
Why does this matter more than an ordinary employee dispute?
Your business's ability to operate depends directly on your qualifying agent, which is exactly why a sudden resignation or termination is such a serious event. Waiting to see if a strained relationship resolves itself risks turning a manageable problem into one of those.
