It isn’t new regulations. What happened was – I named my biz “iHeal Institute”. I was offering programs thorugh my existing LLC, Rebecca Overson Holdings, as I already have an existing coaching business.
My attorney went to register iHeal Institute LLC, and was notified that because of the word “institute”, it has to go through the Utah Division of Consumer Protection, to either apply or see if I am exempt.
After speaking with the person in charge of the DCC, he asked me many questions about what I teach and how I deliver education, certifications, what I charge, etc. And he said I am NOT exempt, and that I need to register as a post-secondary institution.
I have had another call with my attorney about it because I am just baffled – I’m not offering “academic credits” or “continuing education” or professional certificates – just certificates of completion etc…
There seems to be a disconnect somewhere and I’m still getting to the bottom of it as I have never heard another NLP training program having to be registered legally as a “school” or institute of higher learning.
I’ll keep you guys posted.
