Becoming an official and licensed subcontractor takes a tremendous amount of effort and a small touch of luck. The importance of the job requires earning the necessary certifications that take a number of lengthy steps. Many states have their own chosen criteria, but generally speaking, the going standard is hours of time spent in multiple prelicensure classes, passing a license test, and paying a registration fee to seal your status.
However, even after that point, there is no guarantee that you’ll be able to find consistent work. General contractors generally value experience more than youthful energy, which puts rookie subcontractors into a catch-22 situation. A lack of work in the past can restrict you from getting work in the future. You need more than talent to make it into the industry. You also need a way to access the entrenched network that makes finding jobs easier.

Our software lowers the barrier for entry by offering a free version of the tools and several pricing options to further tailor the experience to each buyer’s needs.
