Q: Why do I need an RMO/Licensing Qualifier?
A: Any corporation wishing to conduct construction business in any state within the United States requires a qualifying individual (RMO/Licensing Qualifier). Many times the owner of the corporation, or one of its officers serves as the qualifying officer. We cater to those individuals or companies who cannot find a suitable qualifying individual, or wish to have a guaranteed replacement RMO/Licensing Qualifier available to them for backup purposes. Back to Top.
Q: How long is my contract with the RMO Agency?

Q: What is a RMO/Licensing Qualifier?
A: A RMO (Responsible Managing Officer - terminology in California)/Licensing Qualifier (terminology in other states) is a licensed contractor who serves as the qualifying officer for a corporation's contractor license. The RMO/Licensing Qualifier is responsible for the company's compliance with the state's rules and regulations (i.e. AZROC - Arizona Registrar of Contractors, CSLB - California Contractors State License Board, NSCB - Nevada State Contractors Board, etc...). It is required that each corporate license have its own license qualifier. Back to Top.
Q: How does it work?
A: We have already done most of the work for you. We maintain a pool of pre-qualified contractors. All you need to do is to submit contractor's license application and pay your application fees. We guarantee the approval of our RMO/Licensing Qualifier, or we will replace him/her without any additional charges. We will also pay for your new application fees if our RMO/Licensing Qualifier turns out to be unqualified. Back to Top.
Q: What do I need to do next to obtain a RMO/Licensing Qualifier?
A: This is the easy part. All you have to do is execute an agreement with our agency. One of our professional processing agents will assist you with all the procedures necessary to become a licensed contractor in your state. Back to Top.
Q: Why do I need to execute a Finder's Fee Agreement with RMO Agency?
A: Your company pays us for locating and matching you with a suitable RMO/Licensing Qualifier that will remain on your license for as long as you operate and maintain our agreement. We also have an agreement in place with each RMO/Licensing Qualifier we recruit. This agreement requires us to pay your RMO/Licensing Qualifier a monthly fee; therefore, the monthly fee you pay us includes the fee paid to your RMO/License Qualifier for qualifying your license. Back to Top.
Q: How much does a RMO/License Qualifier cost?
A: The price depends on the state. For example, in California the monthly fee for one license classification is only $795 (payments begin upon license approval.) If you are interested in more than one license classification, please contact us for a specific quote. A $1,500 security deposit is required upon the execution of a contract in order to reserve your RMO/Licensing Qualifier. This security deposit is refundable upon expiration of the contract. Back to Top.
Q: Can I expedite my RMO/License Qualifier application?
A: In most cases, expediting your license will cut down the processing time and will virtually eliminate any erroneous application rejections. For an additional one-time fee, our professional processing agents will ensure the acceptance of your expedited request and help you move through the process. For California new contractor's licenses have a 25 business day guarantee. RMO/License Qualifier replacement or adding a license classification is a 12 business day guarantee. For other states, please contact us. Back to Top.
Q: What is a licensed "Shelf" corporation?
A: A "Shelf" corporation is a licensed newly-formed corporation (usually includes the General Construction 'B' classification) that had no activity except for its license application (clean record guaranteed). This company is ready to conduct construction business. Each company has its own RMO/Licensing Qualifier who serves as the qualifying person for that corporation. Back to Top.
Q: How does a licensed shelf corporation work?
A: We have already done the work for you. The company is set up as a corporation and is licensed with the state's contractor licensing board using one of our RMOs/Licensing Qualifiers as its qualifying individual. Upon purchasing the shelf corporation, the shares of this company will be transferred to you, and you will be added as an officer of the company with the Secretary of State and the state's contractor's licensing board (i.e. AZROC - Arizona Registrar of Contractors, CSLB - California Contractors State License Board, NSCB - Nevada State Contractors Board, etc...). You can utilize this time to begin advertising and set up the business as necessary. Once this step is completed, you may begin signing contracts on behalf of the company and begin performing construction work! Back to Top.
Q: What do I need to do next to purchase a shelf corporation?
A: This is the easy part. All you need to do is sign a purchase agreement transferring the company's shares to you, and complete our standard Finder's Fee Agreement. Back to Top.
Q: Why do I need to execute a RMO/Licensing Qualifier referral agreement along with the purchase of the shelf corporation?
A: After you purchase the shelf corporation you need to maintain your license through the use of a RMO/License Qualifier. For this reason you sign our finder's fee agreement and pay a monthly fee for the duration of this agreement. We also have an agreement in place with each RMO/License Qualifier we recruit. This agreement requires us to pay your RMO/License Qualifier a monthly fee; therefore, the monthly fee you pay us includes the fee paid to your RMO/Licensing Qualifier for qualifying your license. Back to Top.
Q: How much does a licensed shelf corporation cost?
A: You pay a one-time lump sum to purchase the shares of the corporation. A payment plan is also available. Contact us today for a quote. Back to Top.
