How does that work for publically traded firms like Jacobs or AECOM?
Pin Cushion:I agree with PC, a State Board has no authority (in any state) to say who can or cannot own a company. That just doesn't make sense
OH, back on topic... anyone should be able to own a surveying company(or any company) as long the company has professionals to perform the work to standards, whatever they may be. If a Survyeing State Board tried to say I could not own a business then I garentee they have over stepped their bounds no matter if law or not in their regs... The company can call itself a mangment/coordiation/broker company and do fine, and damn near whatever they want... lot of people doing that in your , my, every state already.

woman involved is also a licensed professional.
The intent is the same as Larry P states above.......they want to have the professional
in charge of the business.
I think that I spoke to soon about Mass.
It appears that anyone can own the business, but must ahve a license holder in responsible charge.;...
"A person shall be construed to practice or to offer to practice land surveying who engages in land surveying, or who by verbal claim, sign, letterhead, card or in any other way represents himself to be a land surveyor, or through the use of some other title implies that he is a land surveyor, or who represents himself as able to perform, or who does perform any land surveying service or work, or any other service designated by the practitioner which is recognized as land surveying."
Therefore, it is the opinion of the Board that: For a firm, co-partnership, corporation, or joint stock association to be in compliance with the relevant provisions of MGL and the specific provisions of 250 CMR addressing Direct Supervision* and responsible-charge**, either its sole proprietor, principal or responsible-charge employee*** must hold a valid certificate of registration in the event that said firm, co-partnership, corporation, or joint stock association is:
