How to Get a Contractor License
Proper licensing is essential to the design-build industry. If you are a general contractor then you know how to get a contractor license in your own state, but what about other states where you plan to do business? Not only will you need the proper license for every state where you undertake a project, you will need to stay abreast of any changes to the licensing regulations in each state as well as comply with any regulations that apply to renewals. Twenty five states require contractor licenses. Fifteen also require personnel to pass an exam. J.C. Busch, Ltd. can advise you of each state’s specific requirements.
