Your company obtains its own California Contractor's License and license number.
The RMO serves as the qualifying individual and provides the required supervision of your company's construction operations.
RMO Agency helps you understand the relationship and provides the tools and support needed to maintain compliance.

We Are For Serious Contractors
The RMO Agency program is a long-term commitment with yearly or longer contracts for serious, qualified contractors.
We’re NOT an overnight licensing solution. Construction takes time, and there are no instant fixes.
We’ll help you get licensed with a pre-screened, qualified RMO and support you every step of the way with guidance, tools, and resources—until you’re ready to qualify your own license.
If you’re ready to build a successful business and commit to your future as a licensed contractor, let’s talk!
Why Do I Need My License?
Work Legally
Don’t put your career and family income at risk. The Contractor’s State License Board treats unlicensed work offenses very seriously and so should you!
Make More Money
With a valid Contractor’s License, you can take on bigger and higher-paying projects. Don’t limit your growth potential!
Get More Clients
A valid Contractor’s License allows you to advertise your business and display your work publicly. Get more exposure and build your brand, which starts with your company’s Contractor’s License!
Why Use an RMO?
Using an RMO (Responsible Managing Officer) as your license qualifier waives the exam requirement because the RMO already has sufficient experience and qualifies your business.
Applying for a license with an RMO can shorten the licensing process, so you can get licensed faster and line up your upcoming jobs.
RMO Agency has been supporting contractors since 2006 and making the process of getting licensed EASY.
RMO Agency promotes a REAL relationship with your RMO and provides you with the guidelines to stay CSLB-compliant.
We have a support team of caring professionals who are available to support your licensing needs and help you grow your business!
No other company can claim 20 years of experience in the RMO business. So, when you are ready to take the next step in getting your license, choose us, the ORIGINAL RMO Agency 🙂

Check out our 5-star reviews that highlight our hands-on support and how much we truly care about your success!
Your RMO is responsible for the supervision of your company’s operations to ensure compliance with State regulations.
Supervision (or lack of) makes the difference between doing it right with an RMO or illegally without sufficient supervision.
You MUST report all projects to your RMO and allow RMO involvement as required by CA B&P Code 7068.1.
RMO Agency provides an online portal and other tools to connect with your RMO and keep important construction documents.
Accelerate your opportunities by adding a new classification to your license without stopping the business and studying for a new trade test.
Consequences of Unlicensed Operation
Contracting or selling a construction project over $1,000 without a valid Contractor’s License is a criminal misdemeanor offense. The State has undercover sting operations looking to catch and prosecute unlicensed individuals. If caught, you will face fines and possible jail time.
Will likely will have to appear before a superior court judge and face misdemeanor charges. In addition, a potential sentence of up to 6 months in jail and/or a $5,000 fine plus an administrative fine of $200-$15,000.
First-Time Offenders
Second-Time Offenders
Will have a mandatory 90-day jail sentence plus must pay a fine of 20% of the contract price, or $5000
