License and Permit Register · Business license log for Google Sheets™

The problem

Every license renews on its own date, and nobody reminds you about all of them.

The contractor license renews with the state at the end of the year. The sign permit renews with the city in September. The fire alarm permit, the stormwater permit, the crane operator’s card: each on its own date, from its own office, and some of them only send the reminder once.

The first you hear of a lapsed permit shouldn’t be the job it stops.

What's inside

Every renewal on one tab, counted down.

Type each license or permit once on the Licenses tab: who issued it, the scope, who in the business holds it, when it was issued, when it expires and what renewing costs. The file counts the days to each expiry, marks anything inside sixty days and adds up this year’s renewal costs.

It keeps no license numbers. Those stay on the certificate. This file only needs the body, the scope and the date.

  • Licenses. One row per license or permit, with the issuing body, scope, holder, dates and renewal cost.
  • Days away. The countdown to each expiry, which turns negative once it’s lapsed.
  • Expiring soon. A plain Yes on anything that runs out inside sixty days.
  • The Dashboard. The next renewal and how far away it is, how many have lapsed, licenses held, what’s expiring inside sixty days and this year’s renewal cost.
  • Expirations by month. A chart of how many run out in each of the next twelve months, so a heavy month shows early.
  • Red and gold. A lapsed expiry date turns red. One inside sixty days turns gold.
  • Set up. Your own issuing bodies, scopes and the people who hold licenses, behind the dropdowns on Licenses.
  • A date you choose. Type one on the Dashboard and every countdown works from it. Clear it and the file reads today.
  • Sample licenses. Fourteen made-up licenses and permits, so the figures make sense before you type your own.

Questions

Before you buy.

Why doesn’t it hold the license numbers?

The number is already on the certificate, and the file doesn’t need it to count down. Keeping it out is one less thing in a spreadsheet you might share.

What do I do when a license renews?

Change Issued and Expires to the new dates on the same row. The countdown and the Dashboard move on with them.

What is Held by for?

The person in the business the license belongs to, like the owner or the master electrician, so you know who has to do the renewal.

S

Renew it while it’s still a phone call.

No app to learn. No new account. No monthly anything.
