The Wall Every Expanding Contractor Hits

You do not need the license. Your company needs a qualifier.

The Licensing Company places qualifying agents as full time W-2 employees in all 50 states.

The Whole Process, Three Moves

How Hiring a Qualifying Agent Works

1

You tell us the state and the trade.

Which board, which license class, which company name goes on the application.

2

We match a qualifier to your company.

The qualifying agent we present holds the license your state requires and has agreed to the supervision duties the board expects. They join your payroll as a full time W-2 employee.

3

You bid the work.

Your company is licensed through your qualifier, on staff, the way the board requires it.

If a qualifying agent ever leaves, emergency qualifier replacement keeps the company licensed. Read W-2 vs 1099 qualifying agents for why the employment structure decides whether a placement holds up.

Built the Way the Boards Require

The Boards Check. We Build for the Check.

A general contractor, an electrician, a plumber, an HVAC company. The job is across a state line and the board wants a licensed qualifier on your company before you can bid it, permit it, or get paid for it. That is what we place: a licensed professional who qualifies your company with the board, as your full time W-2 employee, in every state that requires one.

The license stays with that person. Your company is licensed through them, the way the board intends. A qualifying agent qualifies a company; the company never borrows or rents a license. And we will tell you no if a state does not allow it.

Mississippi

The State Board of Contractors verifies a qualifying party's employment with a check stub or a W-2.

Florida

“Working with The Licensing Company was an excellent experience from beginning to end. As the owner of A.B. Electric Services LLC, I know how complicated and time-consuming contractor licensing can become, especially when you are trying to stay focused on running your business and taking care of your customers. The Licensing Company made the entire process much easier for us. They helped streamline everything, kept us informed throughout the process, explained what was needed in a way that was easy to understand, and made sure we stayed on track. Instead of spending countless hours trying to figure out licensing requirements, paperwork, applications, and the next steps on our own, we had a knowledgeable team guiding us through the process. Jeremiah and Marshall were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were professional, responsive, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. It became clear very quickly that they are experts in their field and understand the contractor licensing process inside and out. They were able to answer our questions, explain the process clearly, and help us navigate things that would have been much more difficult to handle on our own. What impressed me most was how simple they made everything feel. Contractor licensing can be confusing and overwhelming, but Jeremiah and Marshall took a process that could have been stressful and made it organized and straightforward. We always knew what was happening, what was needed from us, and what the next step was. Their help allowed us to spend less time worrying about licensing requirements and more time focusing on operating and growing A.B. Electric Services LLC. I would highly recommend The Licensing Company to any contractor who needs help with contractor licensing. Whether you are trying to obtain a license, add another classification, expand into another state, or simply need knowledgeable professionals to help guide you through the process, Jeremiah, Marshall, and the team at The Licensing Company are an excellent resource. We truly enjoyed working with them and greatly appreciate everything they did to make the licensing process as smooth and easy as possible.”

From the very beginning, their team was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful.

Their communication was excellent, and we always felt confident that everything was being handled correctly and on time. Thanks to their experience and dedication, we were able to obtain our GC license with far less stress than we ever expected. We are truly grateful for everything they did for us and would highly recommend them to anyone pursuing a contractor's license.

“I don't leave many reviews, but this company absolutely deserves one. When we decided to get our Ohio electrical contractor's license, the process seemed overwhelming. Thankfully, we found this team. They told us it would take about 90 days, and we were hopeful, but honestly, we never expected it to happen so quickly. To our surprise, we had our license in just 3 weeks! They were professional, honest, and always available to answer our questions. At no point did we feel like we were left wondering what came next. They truly cared about helping us succeed. We genuinely feel blessed that we found them. Because of their hard work and guidance, we're now officially licensed and able to continue growing our business. If you're trying to get licensed and aren't sure where to begin, or you're struggling to meet the requirements, do yourself a favor and give them a call. I would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you for everything, you've made a lasting impact on our family and our business. God bless!”

“Called this very wise and knowledgeable fella at 11pm last night. I know it was late but I came across the ad and he answered, had me on 3-way with he and his brother. We talked for about 45 mins straight. They shared all the knowledge they possibly could and pointed me in the right direction. These guys are really great guys, they really do genuinely just want to help. Not many people out there like that in today's world. They gave me their direct phone numbers and told me don't hesitate to reach out if I have any questions. They help with licensing in EVERY STATE! Give them a call, it won't hurt and it will only help your business get to that next level!”

Straight Answers, No Salesmanship

Questions Contractors Ask

What is a qualifying agent?
A qualifying agent is a state licensed professional who qualifies a contracting company with its state licensing board, so the company can operate legally, bid on work, and pull permits under its own license. The agent holds the license and the supervision duties; the company holds the contracts.
What is a qualifying party?
A qualifying party is the same role under a different name. Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama use qualifying party in statute or board rule, and the Nevada State Contractors Board uses it for the licensed individual on a company license. Read what a qualifying party is.
What does a qualifying agent do?
A qualifying agent supervises the licensed work the company performs, answers to the board for compliance, signs off on permits and is named on the company license. The duties are set by each state board and the agent is accountable for them.
Does a qualifying agent have to be a W-2 employee?
In the states that check, yes. Mississippi asks for a check stub or a W-2. Arizona bars a qualifying party from taking other employment that conflicts with their duties or their ability to supervise the work. The Licensing Company places qualifying agents as full time W-2 employees with documented supervision. A qualifying agent qualifies a company; the company never borrows or rents a license. W-2 vs 1099, what the boards check.
Is using a qualifying agent legal?
Yes, when the agent is a real employee with real supervision duties and the company is qualified through the state board. What is not legal is paying a license holder to sit on a license with no employment and no supervision. That is the line boards enforce, and it is the line this firm is built on. The risks of operating unlicensed.
How much does a qualifying agent cost?
Fees depend on the trade, the state and the structure of the engagement, so there is no single number. Call 615-219-2110 and name your trade and state and we will walk you through how the engagement is built. How the cost is structured.
What happens if my qualifying agent leaves?
Most boards give the company a short window to name a replacement before the license goes inactive. The Licensing Company provides emergency qualifier replacement so the company stays licensed and working while the new qualifying agent is registered. Emergency qualifier replacement.
