How To Get Your D-50 Contractors License

Getting your D-50 Contractor License is much easier than you think. (unless you think it’s really easy)

It may seem like you need to do all these things and there’s so many questions. 

But in reality there’s just a few. 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET YOUR D-50 LICENSE?

There are a few requirements necessary when getting your license. 

Just three to be exact:

1. Must have 4 years of experience doing D-50 work

2. Must be over 18

3. Must have a valid SSN or ITIN

4. Make a perfect pizza (and share it)

Ok maybe I was joking about that last one. 

 But other than the first three. That’s it. 

Pretty simple. Almost too simple. 

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

PASS A STATE TEST

The truth is you’ve been preparing for your contractor license for many years now, you just didn’t know it. 

Passing the test and receiving the license is just the final step. The final sprint. 

 Ok so you have the proper requirements. Great. 

Now it’s time to move onto the next step. Passing the state ‘law and business’ exam. 

This is a very difficult step. I know I said getting your license is easy and yes that is true but the actual test is difficult. 

But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

See if you tried to take the test right now you likely wouldn’t pass. 

This is because it is written by lawyers and takes a lawyers knowledge. 

Good thing we have just that. 

When developing our material at the Contractor License School. We came together with lawyers to do just that.

How do you verify your experience?

How long does it take?

 In total it takes an average of 3 months (Including 1 month for the course and 2 months until testing). 

What’s the best business entity?

In terms of a D-50 small business it is best to get a S Corp. 

We explain a little more about this through the course however S Corps are the way to go for contractors. 

The Contract Bond

The surety bond aka the contractor bond is only necessary after you pass the test. 

However it is easy to get and doesn’t cost much.

Finally

I know that was a lot of info to throw at you. 

However that being said the most important part is to just get started. 

There may be more things you. need to figure out  and that’s fine because we are there to help you.

Never taking that first step is the only way to guarantee you never get your license.
