One CSLS Advantage Students Tend to Overlook
When new students come to us wanting to become licensed California contractors, it’s usually because one detail has stuck out in their mind: that CSLS has helped more than 99% of our students pass their state exam on the first try.
We will admit it’s something that we are very proud of, and a strong selling point for our program. After all, if you are looking for results, it’s hard to do much better than that!
But, as exciting as our success rate has been, we’ve noticed that a lot of potential students tend to overlook another important reason to come to us – CSLS has a number of different tools and relationships you can use to help you get your business off the ground quickly.
In other words, we know that having your contractor’s license isn’t much use to you if you aren’t able to find construction projects to bid on, file the paperwork to open a new company, or manage things like payroll and taxes.
Through more than two decades of experience, we have become some of the best at helping students with things like:
Setting up their contractor’s businesses. Whether you need paperwork for a partnership, limited liability corporation, or other business arrangement, we can help you complete your paperwork quickly, completely, and accurately. This can help you save weeks in delays, and avoid potentially huge problems later.
Arranging for insurance. Not only are you required to have good insurance in order to bid for most construction projects, but it’s also just good business. Because CSLS has long relationships with a number of different insurers, we can help you find the coverage package that suits you at a very competitive rate.
Helping with bonding and other details. Every type of contracting business has different details to worry about, and we have the background and experience to deal with them all. Simply talk to a member of our team about the sort of work you plan on doing, and we’ll ensure you’re ready from the first day.
As with any type of business, it’s often the small details of the construction industry (and small contracting businesses in general) that make the difference between success and failure. By offering turnkey solutions, we let our students focus on what actually matters – getting a great start and achieving their dreams.
