License


I own a hauling company and we clean out houses for banks. I was filling out an application for a new bank and it stated that I needed a contractors license. I could not find a license that is specific to my trade. I do not want to ask the bank, because I do not want to look stupid, but is there a general contractor's license available?

Re: License


I think I understand what you do. You haul all the stuff left behind in a house when it is foreclosed on. Is that correct? I can not imagine what licensen you would need for that. Start by asking the city zoning dept. If they can't help you go to the bank tell them there is no license required or available for what you do and ask them what thy had in mind. Some requirements just make it onto a generic corporate form.

Re: License


I just spoke to my contact at the bank and she said that I do not need to fill out that section. Thanks again for your expertise.
