I am a general contractor in California and have my own contracting business. Another company wants to use my license and has asked me to become either a RME or RMO. Does anyone know if I can still conduct my current business and be a RME or RMO for the other company?

Steve-
Yes, you can. There are limitations, which you can read up on at http://www.cslb.ca.gov/. As I recall, it was about three or four years ago that most of those limitations came about. Used to be pretty much wide open.

I have a friend that is representing a total of five companies. I don't recall what the basic limitation is, but it seems to me that it had to do with percentage of ownership.

You guys are all over the map. :no:

Here's the straight scoop Steve.

As an RMO you can qualify up to 3 licenses as long as you have at least 20% ownership in each corporation.

You can have as many sole owner licenses as you wish.

If you are an RME on any license, you can not qualify any other license, meaning you would need to Inactivate your sole license.

The comment above about being a qualifier on 5 licenses...... I seriously doubt that, unless..... the five licenses ALL have a majority of the same officers. And that rarely happens.

Gentlemen!!! Please remember that you will be responsible for all projects that have your name on them. The law does require that you take an active role in those projects ensuring that the work being done is up to plans/specs/code, etc.

If a complaint were filed and the CSLB or arbitrator asks you how much time did you spend on the job site you'll have to give them an answer.

I'm not saying that anyone here is "selling" their license. Just want you to be careful!

response to RMO

Hi, we are a [FONT=verdana, helvetica, sans-serif]California Corporation; we need a qualifying RMO with Inactive or Active License.[/FONT]

I have an active license since 1989 with B, C-10, C36'C-39, C-51.

If you let me see corporation profile and what kind of project you are working in California, I will give you my quote for RMO.

RMO or RME risks

This is directed for Phil but any input would be appreciated.

I would like to close my business and focus on a non-profit that I have started however, I do still need, at best, a minimum income. I am considering "offering" to be an RMO/RME for a fee (an of course some oversite since it is my license) but I am not entirely sure of the risks, legalities, and fees to charge.

Are there specific groups that address this issue? Obviously there would need to be a corporation drawn up so lawyers would be involved. Any experience/information would be greatly appreciated including how I should be involved and what to charge.

Thank you.

Unfortunately I have never come across an organization that will assist in putting together qualifier's with business owners. :(

And I do not believe there is a set or rules or protocol to follow for fees or contractual issues. The advice of a good lawyer would be the best bet.

I actually wanted to start a side business offering exactly the services people are looking for within this thread, but I got zero support from my biz partner at the time. :wallbash: Maybe I'll have to revisit the idea. I have several attorney connections that deal with contractors on a regular basis.

I'm getting closer to creating a new business to put qualifiers and those who need one together. :thumbup:

This service will include State document preparation, license application submittal, bonding and insurance services, and a licensed CA attorney will prepare the contract/employee agreement for the parties involved.

If you are interested in putting your name on our list, click on my name below and send me your CSLB number or contact info. Indicate whether you are a qualifier or need one.

There will be no cost to be added to the database. Fees will only be paid when a connection is made.

I'll be putting a website together soon, but you dont have to wait you can get placed on the database today.

No spam emails will ever be sent. You will only be contacted if a possible match is made.

If you'd like more info, ask your question here or send me an email. :biggrin:

National Database

I'm getting closer!! Won't be long before I launch a new phase of my business connecting qualifier's with construction companies who need them.

This will be a national database, NOT state specific! :thumbup: So if you're are in North Carolina and need a South Carolina license and a South Carolina qualifier to go with it.... I'll be here to put the two together.

The best part... there will be NO fee to sign up! :D
