Licensing Your Success

Navigating Arizona's contractor licensing requirements can be daunting. We streamline the entire journey with our specialized, computer-based system.

The Path to an Arizona Contractor License

  • Arizona Law Requires It: All construction professionals in Arizona need a current, active license to operate legally.

  • Your Dedicated Partner: We fill out and process all necessary applications, coordinating directly with the Arizona Department of Revenue, Corporation Commission, Secretary of State, IRS, and Registrar of Contractors. We even hand-deliver applications for efficiency.

Key Steps We Manage

  • Work Experience Verification: The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) requires 2-4 years of full-time, journeyman-level experience. We help ensure your history is accurately documented.

  • Study & Testing Preparation:

    • Business Management Exam: All contractors must pass this test. Our flexible, computer-based review course, available in-office or online, ensures you're ready.
    • Trade Tests: Many licenses require a trade-specific exam. Our unique, all-inclusive preparation courses mean no books to buy! Use our extensive library in-office or even check out books for your exam.
    • Important Note: Passing exams is just one part of the process; the license is not active until all needs are met.
  • Company Setup & Application:

    • Arizona licenses are issued to your company, not an individual.
    • We expertly set up your sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation, saving you time and money and simplifying your licensing journey.
