Electrical contractor licensing support and electrical qualifying agents
We map what your electrical board requires and prepare the application. Where no one on staff can qualify the company, we place a licensed electrical qualifying agent.
Electrical licensing often sits with its own board, and in many states the company license rests on a master electrician. The Licensing Company works out which board issues your license and files the application. When no one on staff can qualify, we place a licensed electrical qualifying agent. Both founders hold master electrician licenses themselves.
The panel is your job. The board is ours.
What the right license lets your company do
Licensed correctly, the company bids, pulls permits and gets paid. Licensed wrong, every one of those is at risk.
With the right license
Legal authorization to perform electrical work
Ability to pull electrical permits for commercial projects
Eligibility to bid on government and institutional contracts
Compliance with state electrical licensing boards
Credibility with general contractors and facility owners
Without it
Performing electrical work without proper licensure
Permit rejection and project delays
State board investigations and disciplinary action
Inability to collect payment for unlicensed work
Personal liability for electrical failures or injuries
Exclusion from future licensing opportunities
What we handle for you
Built around your trade and the states you work in.
The license path in your state
Which board issues the electrical contractor license, the classification you need, the exams, and the experience and financial proof it asks for.
The application, prepared and filed
Experience verification, financial statements, bonds and insurance, and the board's follow up questions until the license issues. Qualify yourself? We process your own application for one flat $999.
A licensed electrical qualifying agent
Where no one on staff can qualify, we place one, hired by your company as a W-2 employee, and prepare the qualifier filing.
Renewals and qualifier changes
Renewal dates, continuing education and qualifier departures are tracked, so a missed date never catches you off guard.
What this engagement is, and what it is not
A qualifying agent qualifies your company with the board. Here is where the line sits.
It is
Documented electrical contractor licensing support
Legally structured Qualifying Agent arrangements
Proper board filings and documentation
Trade-specific compliance expertise
Ongoing license maintenance support
It is not
A name on a license with no real role in the company
A guarantee that the board approves
A verbal or handshake arrangement
A way around the board's experience or financial rules
A one time filing with no follow up
Two licensed contractors who still build
Marshall Schofield and Jeremiah Jaskulski each hold general contractor, master electrician, master plumber and master mechanical licenses. Together they have helped more than 1,000 business owners with licensing.
They hold the licenses they help other contractors get, so the answer you get on a call is the answer the board will give you.

“If another contractor asked me who to call for licensing, The Licensing Company would be the first name I gave them.”
I don't leave many reviews, but this company absolutely deserves one. When we decided to get our Ohio electrical contractor's license, the process seemed overwhelming. Thankfully, we found this team. They told us it would take about 90 days, and we were hopeful, but honestly, we never expected it to happen so quickly. To our surprise, we had our license in just 3 weeks! They were professional, honest, and always…
Timelines vary by state. Most licenses take a few weeks to a few months.
I honestly can't say enough good things about Jeremiah and The Licensing Company. When our electrical qualifier left, I was caught completely off guard. I had a company to run, trucks on the road, jobs that needed to get done, and a whole crew of guys depending on me for their paycheck. I really didn't know what I was supposed to do next or how we were going to get everything straightened out with the State of…
Working with The Licensing Company was an excellent experience from beginning to end. As the owner of A.B. Electric Services LLC, I know how complicated and time-consuming contractor licensing can become, especially when you are trying to stay focused on running your business and taking care of your customers. The Licensing Company made the entire process much easier for us. They helped streamline everything, kept…
Working with the licensing company has been great. Professional from start to finish, knowledgeable about every step of the process, and quick to respond when questions came up. They handled the paperwork, kept me updated, and made sure everything was done right the first time. If you need help getting licensed or finding a qualifying agent, this is the company to work with.
I can't say enough good things about Jeremiah and Marshall at The Licensing Company. They helped me get my Ohio plumbing license for True Flow Services LLC and made the whole process so much easier than I expected. Running a business already gives you enough to worry about. The last thing I wanted to do was spend my time trying to figure out paperwork, state requirements, and everything that comes along with…
Very professional and knowledgeable.
