Hi All,
So I'm thinking of starting a low voltage contracting company in California and had a few questions. Ive got 2 retail clients who will get me on board, but I want to make sure I know what im getting into. We do mostly Voice and Data with the occasional alarm systems.
If I'm using my own guys locally for adds, moves and changes do I need to be a licensed C-7 low voltage systems contractor?
Do I need to be C-7 low voltage systems licensed if I have licensed technicians who work for me directly?
I know there are several low voltage companies who are not licensed, but still operate business. What are the consequences for performing low voltage work without a C-7 low voltage systems license?
Same goes for hiring subs in different ares of the US.
Ive worked for another company for the past 10 years, I just dont know whats required for starting up your own company in this field. Ive done some searching through state and government sites, Just wanted to see what the company owners have to say. If I need to get the license, I will.
For the typical sarcastic replying forum members: I'm not looking for sarcasm, I'm asking for support as that is what forum boards are for. Ive gone through several posts in this forum and noticed a lot of useless sarcastic reply's to questions.
Thanks for the help!
