A Qualifying Agent (QA) is the licensed individual required by many states for a general contractor to legally bid work, pull permits, and perform construction services.
The QA holds the required state contractor license and serves as the responsible party tied to your company’s license. Depending on the state, this may include:
Allowing your company to operate under their license
Enabling permit applications and inspections
Ensuring compliance with state licensing regulations
Acting as the designated license holder for the business
Without a properly designated Qualifying Agent, many states will not issue permits or recognize your company as legally authorized to perform work.
JL Licensing places licensed Qualifying Agents in every state that requires GC licensing, helping contractors stay compliant and keep projects on schedule.
