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?

If I read your post correctly, what you're hoping to do is add an RMO/RME in your company, in order to be able legally to advertise yourself as a solar provider.

You would advertise your company as roofing and solar, customers would contract directly with you for solar work, and you would sub-contract the work to your normal solar company. Right now you refer them to the other company.

Is that correct?

Here is something that may be of assistance. With a B-General Building license, you cannot bid on a job that is just one trade unless that job is carpentry or you are going to sub it out to someone licensed in that specialty. Any job you bid on has to involve 2 or more unrelated trades. The state has very recently changed their policy and added solar as a single trade job that you can bid on with a B license and do the work yourself or sub it out.

To be an RME you would need to inactivate your sole owner license and disassociate from any license where you're listed as an RMO.

RMO on up to three corp/llc licenses in any one year period, and can have as many sole owner licenses as you want.

If you want to be an RME on a license, then that's the only license where you can listed as an "active" qualifier.

Hello I currently have an s-corp using a rmo for my company. Is my Rmo allowed to sign contracts using my Corp cslb # behind my back and collecting money under an LLC he created? His contracts show his LLC as the header address etc. My business name only appears on his contracts next to his name (rmos) reading as: in a general partnership between the LLC name and his name followed by my company name and cslb #

Any help is greatly appreciated!
