(1) The bureau may refuse to issue indorsements to any person who proposes to use any individual, partnership, association, corporation or other entity as such persons' agent for the performance of any activity specified in ORS 658.405(1), when the proposed agent has, within the preceding three years, violated any section of ORS 658.405 to 658.485.

(b) The use of the same real property, fixtures or equipment or use of a similar business name of the former business;

(d) A person financially interested in any capacity in the former business has a financial interest in any capacity in the new business;

(e) The amount of capitalization is inadequate to meet current obligations of the new business; or

(f) The formalities of a partnership or a corporation are disregarded by the new business when such business is a partnership or corporation.
