Start with what your state actually requires.
Licensing is set state by state and often city by city. Tell us your trade and where you work, and we set out the licence, any bond, and the cover a general contractor will ask to see — each with the authority that issues it.
- Free, and no account needed
- Every item carries its issuing authority
- Nothing asserted that we have not verified
Type the job, not the job title — “water heater”, “stump grinding”, “lash”.
Free. Requirements research for your trade and state, with the issuing authority for every item — not legal advice.
Built for trades, not for “small business” in general
A plumbing licence isn’t a barber licence. We answer for your trade in your state — and tell you who issues every item so you can prove it.
Electrical
Licence, bond and the COI a GC asks for.
Plumbing
State licence, backflow, and who issues it.
Barbering
Shop licence, board hours, chair rental.
Painting
Where a contractor licence kicks in by job size.
Landscaping
Pesticide handling, irrigation, hauling.
Cleaning
Bonding, insurance, and employee rules.
A plumbing licence isn’t a barber licence
Requirements are per state and per trade, and often per city. We look them up for your trade, not for businesses in general.
Bonds and COIs, in plain words
The certificate a general contractor asks for before you set foot on site — what it is, and who actually needs one.
A site shaped like your work
Service area, quotes, deposits, before-and-after photos, emergency call-outs. Not a storefront.
Sourced, not guessed
Every requirement names the board or agency that issues it. You can hand it to a general contractor, an insurer or a bank and it holds up.
How It Works
Three steps from calling yourself a boss to being one.
Know what you actually need
Your trade, your state: the licence, the bond, and the insurance a general contractor will ask to see. Every item comes with the authority that issues it, so you can prove you’re compliant.
Get registered and covered
LLC filed with your state, EIN, and the paperwork that makes you real to a bank, a supplier and a commercial client.
Get found and get booked
A site built for a service business — service area, quotes, before-and-after work, and a phone number that rings.
We do the paperwork. You be the boss.
The hardest part of running a trade isn’t the trade. It’s the licence you didn’t know your state required, the bond a general contractor asks for on the morning of the job, the LLC a bank wants before it opens an account, and the website that never got built because you were on a roof.
Your service area, not the whole state
A number that rings, not a contact form nobody reads
Filing timelines you can quote a customer
The business side, handled
We do the service side of your business — everything that makes you real to a bank, a supplier, an insurer and a general contractor. You be the boss of it.
You're good at the work.
We'll handle the rest.
