Florida GC question

Hello all, I currently qualify a company in Florida and I would like to leave the company and start to do sub work for another company. Do I have to start a corporation and qualify my own company or can I hold my license under my name alone. This is a state certified general contracting license I currently hold and I am looking to get off as cheap as possible.

Thanks in advance!

You can qualify another new company and stop qualifying the old company or you could change your license to an individual status.

If you are licensed as an individual and not a corporation or LLC, you will not be able to exempt yourself from W/C.

The difference between qualifying a new company and placing your license under an individual isn't that much, probably a few hundred dollars, but then you have the cost of establishing a new corporation or an LLC, which can be done for $300 or less.

You can go the www.myfloridalicense.com and get the information and application you will need.

If you want to qualify more than 1 entity, it will require an appearance before the CILB.

It is situations like this that prompted me to finally get off my backside and create a new biz connecting licensed qualifiers with construction company's who have a need for one. Stay tuned for my free service coming soon.

I have a question about your services

please clarify for me, I am certified general contractor who wants to qualify a business. Would you be able to help with that and is there a fee?
