Most contractors have difficulty finding the time to balance the logistical decisions with the actual building projects themselves.

At Contractors Reporting Services, our goal is to help people achieve their dream of becoming a successful general contractor in the state of Florida. Our services don’t end after you obtain your Florida General Contractor license. On the contrary, our services only begin there. We have a highly trained and specialized staff that is ready to help you through the process of creating your contractor company and also stay on board as a consultant for any business decisions you approach.

We’ve been helping contractors in Florida since 1965, so we are well versed in the legal and construction portion of owning your own contractor business. After we help you through the requirements to obtain your general contractors license, we will sit down and discuss with you the options for your general contractor business. Our goal is to help guide you through the professional decisions that will shape your career, such as whether or not to invest in a new project or what to do about a staffing issue. Our knowledge and experience will work to benefit you and make sure that you are making wise choices as you build your foundation for success.

Build your business on solid ground

When you allow our staff at Contractors Reporting Services to help you build your career as a general contractor, you are ensuring that your business will be built on a solid foundation.

One of the first services we offer is an application service for your Florida general contractor license. We offer resources to help you study for the test and we explain the requirements to obtain your general contractor license in Florida.

Once you decide on the right foundation for your business, we help you build your career by offering advice on projects and logistical business concerns. We make sure that you are moving in the right direction throughout your career path.
