The license applicant must provide evidence to the <a title=\"MI DOI\" href=\"http:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/difs\/0,5269,7-303-13044_13188---,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">Commissioner<\/a>\u00a0that he or she has paid-up capital and surplus of $50,000.00, if a corporation, or net worth if an individual or copartnership of $50,000.00 which must be maintained throughout the license period.
