Every contractor and its business practices in California must be legally licensed and meet specific guidelines to continue operating within the state. The Contractors State Licensing Board (CSLB), part of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, is the governing body that oversees California contractor bonds. The CSLB has strict licensing requirements and establishes trade standards, ethics, and sound business practices.
Contractors must obtain a Contractor's License Bond as part of the licensing process. Once you are licensed, you may be required to obtain additional bonds for the successful bidding process and project performance and completion.
In addition, contractors should carry General Liability insurance to cover third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. Contractors with employees must also purchase Workers' Compensation insurance.
