Two Important Contractor

Support Programs for already Licensed Contractors:

1. Business Workshop

We offer an Interactive Business Workshop for the New Contractor OR Experienced Contractors who need to get their Business and all the paperwork organized to actually run Legally, or to "tune it up." We'll go over Bidding, Payroll & Workers Comp, and the required Contracts and Legal Documents, etc., to make sure you are protected and not missing any critical regulations. If you have forgotten some of the Laws that are in place, we are offering a convenient way to "be safe rather than sorry." The fee for the Business Workshop is only $175.00 for our Existing Contractor Clients**(Spouse/Significant Other $95.00) and $275.00 for Other Licensed Contractors.

**... and, if you're within 90 days of Passing your Exam, only $159.00!

2. Contractor Full Law Refresher Class

We also offer a "Law Refresher Course" for any currently Licensed Contractors. To give you an opportunity to update your knowledge on the Contractor’s License Laws and the Business and Professions Code regulations that guide Contractors in California. With the CSLB actively and aggressively investigating work practices (especially Written Contracts and Employment Regulations), we offer a way to "get up to date." The fee for this limited availability class is only $395 for Previous Clients and Other Licensed Contractors.
