Hey guys
I was trying to find the requirements to be a property preservation contractor in Chicago. Licensing, insurance requirements and so forth. Any help or a place to call or look online would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Kris
Kris best place to go is the county clerks office, no you wont need a license but they will require you to register as a service vendor with the state. what this does is lower the risk of having the cops called on you every 30 seconds. I do work in down state Illinois and trust me it happen alot.
I have been in the business for over 20 years and county clerks nothing, you need to get a business license or a business tax number it is a 1099 which means you pay your own taxes, you are required to carry A and O insurance from someone like york jersey, you have to have back ground check. you work from sun up to sun down and reliable mowers, tools and help. It is very expensive to get into but it does pay good. Ill give you that . Good luck
Anonymous,
What companies are you working for? I have been slow for the last few months. I need to find new clients.
Do I need to take any kind of test to be a property preservation contractor?
Besides a business license do I need any permits?
