Would You Use This Service?
My husband and operate our business together. He does all the painting, I do the paperwork. Our state has a Construction Registry that all contractors can file on to show they are a GC or Sub on every project. This is a "pre-lien" process that our state requires to file a lien. If you do this then you can be paid from a Lien Recovery Fund that all Licensed Contractors pay into every year.
Last year I attended a three hour class offered by the state and today a shorter offered by a lawyer. Both are required Continuing Education required by the state for your license. Both classes I noticed that most other contractors had no clue about this program and left with more questions than they came with. I was able to answer questions about the program that the lawyer did not know. Several contractors came up to me afterwards wanting to know if I would help them navigate the system. OK, if you are still with me, here is my question. As a contractor, would you be interested in someone handling the whole process for you? No dollar amounts are given, it is all public record. Thank you |

Re: Would You Use This Service?
Yes this is a great service and in Florida it is big business,
We use this lien service all the time and they send out Notice To Owners also. We do hundreds of sales a year and work with alot of contractors also and you need to have it done right to be able to collect if you need to go to court. Good luck. |

Re: Would You Use This Service?
To clarify: This is not to file a lien, just manage the pre-lien process required.
Thanks! I am wondering if I have found a new niche to start a new business! Last edited by RCPainting; 09-21-2008 at 10:01 AM. |

Yes this would be a great new business. You are right about the lien we have to file our own liens. But the process is the most important. Without the do process you are screwed.
