Nationwide Qualifying Agent Placement
A qualifying agent is a state licensed professional who qualifies a contracting company with its state licensing board, so the company can operate legally, bid on work, and pull permits under its own license.
The Licensing Company places qualifying agents as full time W-2 employees in all 50 states. Some states call the same role a qualifying party, RME or RMO.

Which board, which license class, which company name goes on the application.
The qualifying agent we present holds the license your state requires and has agreed to the supervision duties the board expects. They join your payroll as a full time W-2 employee.
Your company is licensed through your qualifier, on staff, the way the board requires it.
If a qualifying agent ever leaves, emergency qualifier replacement keeps the company licensed. Read W-2 vs 1099 qualifying agents for why the employment structure decides whether a placement holds up. Placement is one part of our contractor licensing services in all 50 states, which also cover new license applications, exam scheduling and board filings.
Each guide is written from the state statute and board rules and covers the license classes, the qualifying agent or qualifying party requirement, the exams, and how a company is qualified with that board.

A general contractor, an electrician, a plumber, an HVAC company. The job is across a state line and the board wants a licensed qualifier on your company before you can bid it, permit it, or get paid for it. That is what we place: a licensed professional who qualifies your company with the board, as your full time W-2 employee, in every state that requires one.
The license stays with that person. Your company is licensed through them, the way the board intends. A qualifying agent qualifies a company; the company never borrows or rents a license. And we will tell you no if a state does not allow it.
The State Board of Contractors verifies a qualifying party's employment with a check stub or a W-2.
Read the Mississippi guideUnder A.R.S. 32-1127, a qualifying party may not take other employment that would conflict with their duties or their ability to supervise the work.
