“Lending” Your Electrical Contractors License?
You should never “lend” your contractors license to anyone, for any reason, ever. There are many good reasons for a contractor to have this “never lend” policy.
However, sometimes it can be advantageous for a contractor to pull a permit for someone else’s work. Like a homeowner installed his own main electrical panel and then he finds out that his city does not allow homeowners to obtain a “Homeowner’s Permit” for that job.
Without going into a lot of explanation, here is a form I made up a few years ago that has minimized my risk and maximized my profit in these situations. WARNING! Is this legal in your state? I’m not the guy who knows or is going to find out; that’s up to you. But, anyway, here’s the form:
