Expand Your License Classifications
Growing a construction business often means taking on new services and larger projects. As a California contractor, that growth may require you to expand your license classifications.
The California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) issues licenses for specific construction trades and fields. Contractors can add classifications when they meet the applicable requirements.
Is Your Contractor License Ready for Growth? Your current classification may not cover every service your business wants to provide.
Consider reviewing your license if you are:
- Pursuing larger construction projects
- Adding new services
- Entering new markets
- Expanding your commercial work
- Turning down projects outside your current classification
- Hiring employees for additional trades
Expanding your license can help align your licensing with your business plans.
What Does Adding a Classification Require?
CSLB has specific requirements for adding a contractor license classification. Your license must be current and in good standing. You also need a qualifying individual for the additional classification. The qualifier generally needs four years of relevant experience within the past 10 years. Experience must meet CSLB requirements and be verified.
Applicable examinations or examination waivers may also apply.
What If You Need a Qualifier?
Finding a qualified individual can be challenging when your business is expanding.
