What's your name & reputation worth to you?
You might want to get a good lawyer to review your options & possible consequences

How badly do you want your name on someone else's work?

It may not necessarily be "his" name.
The OP may be the license holder, while the company [and their name] is the business permit holder.

Many of the larger corporate EC's operate exactly as described.

Re: What Is Electrical Licence Worth?


In a previous life, I worked for a railroad [RR].
The RR needed "someone" to be the license holder so they could continue doing what they do....repairs, maintenance, new construction of facilities.

Long story short....the offer was $50/yr...which coincided with what the annual fee was for the license. [Tri-annual license = $150 every 3 years]
Obviously, this number did not include:
- what it cost to get the license in the first place
- cost of Continuing Education
- monetary limits imposed on the license holder as his license was now "spoken for".
- etc

I laughed at them....but "someone" took the "bait".

Expect an extremely low-ball offer.

No word yet but i expect a low ball offer. i was thinking mabe a percent of profit or mabe so much per quarter of year. any way you look at it there is no standard of what i should be looking for so hopefully the offer is good but probably not??????????

Here in GA it can cost your license. You must work for the company that the license is used for, and it can be used for one company only.

Stay away from this deal. You cover the liability, all of the Work Comp. (which is based on payroll, your work comp bill could be over $2000 per month and you could end up with a ton of claims raising your insurance for the next 3-5 years) and they want you to cover them under YOUR Bond. Which means if they default on the job the bonding company comes in, does the job and then goes after you taking your home your business everything to pay for the job they had to finish. Bad Bad Bad deal.
