Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had secured sufficient physical premises for the new office at the time of filing. The initial lease submitted was for a residential property that prohibited business use and was not in the petitioner's name. A corrected lease submitted on appeal was signed after the petition's filing date and could not cure the original deficiency, as eligibility must exist at the time of filing.
