Start and run an electrical contracting business
A master licence lets you pull the permit. Service Boss handles everything else it takes to be the company that pulls it.
What slows electricians down
- Contractor licence, bond and insurance proof before a GC lets you on site
- Panel upgrade and rewire quotes priced from memory
- Getting paid on time for small service calls
- A name nobody can find online
What Service Boss handles
Electrical contractor checklist
What your state asks of an electrical contractor - licence, bond, insurance a GC will want to see - each item sourced to its authority.
Panel upgrade quotes
Panel, breakers, permit and hours as quote lines; the customer accepts online and the same lines become the invoice.
A company a GC will sign
LLC or corporation filed in your state with a registered agent and EIN, so the subcontract is with your company, not you.
Your name, protected
Search the name you want on the van and file the trademark before someone across town takes it.
Jobs you can quote and invoice
- Panel upgrade
- Rewire
- Troubleshooting
- New circuits
- Code correction
How it goes
Two electricians leave a big shop together: one LLC, the state checklist worked through, a trademark filed on their name, and their first GC sub agreement signed by the company.
Requirements research, not legal advice. Rules can differ by city and county; every item we give you names the authority that issues it.
