Add your license details

A contractor license gives authority to any company to do the construction business in a state. Licenses are of different types depending on the line of business and the nature of work carried out by the contractors. The licenses are issued for a certain period of time on the lapse of which it has to be renewed. The life term of the license differs for each state. So it is imperative that the licenses are to be renewed on time and kept active all the time for the uninterrupted continuation of the work.

The licenses interface lets you add the details of your construction business licenses obtained from different states. This also helps you to keep track of their renewal dates from the Linarc interface and renew them on time.

The licenses you add here are visible to your associate companies, for example, if a GC wants to check the license of an SC before assigning a work contract to them. See View details of a subcontractor/vendor if you need help perusing the license details of other companies.
