Build your construction firm on a solid regulatory foundation
You’re faced with uniquely complex regulatory and licensing challenges. CT Corporation’s specialized toolkit of compliance services can protect your business from penalties and put you in good position to bid and win jobs.
Business formation for construction
CT makes it easy. Our team of construction and contractor experts help you get your business incorporated, licensed, and ready to start bidding.
State qualification for contractors
When expanding to a new state you need to secure your licensing and authority to do business – before you bid on a job.
Registered agent services
A registered agent is required by all 50 states. Rely on CT Corporation to handle important legal and state documents promptly and correctly.
Up to code on the legal front
State and local governments require construction companies to secure a wide variety of licenses and permits. For example, before the first shovel hits the ground you may need to secure a residential builder license from the state and obtain local permits from the county or municipality for the excavation and building. CT’s experts can help you find out exactly which licenses and permits required for your business – and help you manage them all. We know the requirements you face today and have the expertise to anticipate what’s ahead.
Expanding your footprint
Growing your business by bidding on a job in a new state requires you to register in that state, a process called foreign qualification. If you construct, alter, remodel or repair buildings, then you will likely need to register as a foreign corporation (or LLC) in the state —for even one project. And garnishments and other litigation issues can arise for companies operating in numerous states.
