How To Get Your D-62 Contractors License

God’s gift to the world was contractors. 

And that’s the truth.

You also need a license to be a contractor and that’s also the truth. 

BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO GET YOUR D-62 LICENSE?

Shout bingo if you can relate this this. (trust me i’ll hear you)

You started working in your trade and for many years you thought getting your license wasn’t for you or was just too hard. 

But eventually you decide you’re done working for someone else and want to take your own jobs and live free.

So what do you do? You get your license. 

There’s only three requirements:

1. Must have 4 years of experience doing D-62 work

2. Must be over 18

3. Must have a valid SSN or ITIN

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

PASS A STATE TEST

Phew. We made it through the requirements. 

I know that was a lot to read. 

But there’s still more. 

Once you meet the requirements there’s nothing stopping you from getting your contractor license. In fact it’s encouraged. 

But in order to get your D-62 Contractor License you need to pass the Law and Business Exam. 

To be frank. (that’s not my real name)

This is a hard test. Many contractors have tried and failed. 

But I don’t say this to scare you. Only to warn you. The reason these contractors didn’t pass is because they never prepared.

The test is written by lawyers with the goal of maintaining a high understanding of law within contractors. 

The only thing is your experience is in your trade not studying law. 

Until now.. 

Introducing the…

CONTRACTOR LICENSE SCHOOL

Here at the contractor school we prepare you to take this exam.

How do you verify your experience?

How long does it take?

We recommend you send your application (signed by a contractor) to the CSLB (through the mail) after you complete the course (about 1 month in). 

This keeps you on a normal timeline to get your license as fast as possible. Your enrollment lasts for 6 months so you have plenty of time just in case life happens. 

After you submit the CSLB will take 4-8 weeks to process your application. During that time you can keep studying, setting up your business and preparing because once they get in touch with you-you want to be ready to test. 

In total you’re looking at 3 months from beginning to end to get your license. 

What’s the best business entity?

Simple. S Corps. 

They give you the most protection and tax savings without having to pay for extra insurance. 

The Contract Bond

This is only necessary after you pass the test. You got time. Plus it’s easy to obtain once you pass the test anyway.

The time has come to take the next steps. So what are you waiting for?
