The Licensing Company A qualifying agent is a state licensed professional who serves as a contracting company's qualifier of record with its state licensing board, so the company can operate legally, bid on work, and pull permits under its own license. The company holds the license. The qualifying agent is responsible to the board for the work performed under it. States also call this role the qualifying party, the responsible managing employee (RME), the responsible managing officer (RMO), or the license qualifier. The Licensing Company places qualifying agents with contracting firms as full time W-2 employees and prepares the qualifier filing with the state board. It was founded and is run by Marshall Schofield and Jeremiah Jaskulski, who both hold general contractor, master electrician, master plumber and master mechanical licenses. Licensing support in all 50 states. Phone 615-219-2110. Marshall Schofield is one of the nation's leading contractor exam prep instructors, a second generation general contractor and a cofounder of The Licensing Company. Jeremiah Jaskulski is a licensed contractor who has lived the licensing process across multiple states and a cofounder of The Licensing Company.
