We are based in West Hollywood and work with contractors across Los Angeles County. If your business needs a Responsible Managing Officer to qualify a CSLB contractor license, we match you with a licensed RMO and handle the filing.
RMO matching for Los Angeles contractors
Los Angeles has the largest concentration of licensed contractors in California and some of the most competitive bidding in the state. Getting licensed quickly matters here, and the qualifying individual is usually the bottleneck.
We connect LA businesses with licensed RMOs in the classification they need, then manage the CSLB process from application through issuance.
Who we work with
- New construction businesses that need a license to start bidding
- Established companies adding a classification to take on new trades
- Contractors facing the 90-day deadline after a qualifier disassociated
- Licensed contractors who want to serve as an RMO and earn from their license
Areas we serve
We work with contractors throughout the Los Angeles area, including West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Long Beach, Torrance, the San Fernando Valley, and the wider county.
What we handle
- RMO matching in your classification
- Entity formation for corporations and LLCs
- CSLB applications including experience documentation
- Classification additions to existing licenses
- Qualifier replacement against the 90-day deadline
- Bonds and insurance including the $25,000 contractor bond
- Renewals, disassociations, and personnel changes
How it works
- Tell us what you need. Classification, timeline, and whether you are starting fresh or fixing an existing license.
- We match you with a licensed RMO whose classification and availability fit.
- We structure the agreement covering duties, compensation, ownership, and exit terms.
- We file with CSLB and follow it through to issuance.
After matching and complete paperwork, licensing typically takes about three to four months.
Why contractors use an RMO
To qualify a California license yourself you need four years of documented journey-level experience in the classification within the last ten years, plus the Law and Business and trade exams. If you do not have that record, an RMO who does can qualify the license for your business.
