How To Get Your D-42 Contractors License

 I appreciate all your work.

Because without D-42 contractors I would never know the wholesale at my local furniture store. 

And I just stocked my sons dorm. 

So for that I thank you. 

BUT WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET YOUR D-42 LICENSE?

There’s only three requirements: 

1. Must have 4 years of experience doing D-42 work

2. Must be over 18

3. Must have a valid SSN or ITIN

4. Bring pizza to class…

Well I may have been lying about that last one. 

But pretty easy right? 

At the end of the day if you have 4 years of experience you nearly have your license. 

 

For more information regarding the requirements go to the CSLB website. 

PASS A STATE TEST

 Wait. Did I say a measily test.

I meant this may be the hardest test of all time. 

But that’s not to worry. We’re here to help. 

The test is written by lawyers. Lawyers who have studied law and then used that knowledge to put it into 125 questions. 

But we have our own secret weapon. 

We wrote our cirriculum with other lawyers. 

So that you can be more than equiped to pass the test and receive your license. AND be a successful contractor.

How do you verify your experience?

How long does it take?

The average time is 3 months if you stay diligent. 

This looks like 1 month throught the course then sending your application. 

The CSLB will take 4-8 weeks to process your application before getting in touch with you to schedule your test date. 

During that time it is best to prepare your business by setting up your corporation and studying for the test. 

What’s the best business entity?

The best business entity for contractors is the S Corp. 

Essentially you save on taxes with extra protection. 

The Contract Bond

The Contractor bond also known as Surety bond isn’t needed until after you pass the exam. 

Costs roughly $150 to obtain.

Finally

That’s a lot of information to throw at you. 

But all you need to remember is to get started. 

That’s the important part. 

Because if you never get started you’ll never get your license.
