registration transferred to the purchaser upon filing with the department a statement containing the name of the registered dealer or wholesaler, the
number under which the business is registered, the name of the purchaser, and the location of the place of business so sold. A certificate of
registration may not be transferred unless the entire business of the dealer or wholesaler holding the certificate of registration is sold and disposed
of, and a certificate of registration may not be transferred to any person other than the purchasers of the business.
