How Do You Find an Additional Business to Qualify With Your License?

What should you look for in a business?

Treat it like any job search, whether it's part-time or full-time. Decide which one you want and whether the business's need matches. Look at what the responsibilities actually are — see our guide on how the qualifying agent relationship works for the scope — and whether it's work you want to do and can do. Consider whether it's work you'd find fulfilling, and what the financial compensation looks like (see how much you can earn as a qualifying agent).

How do you check out a business before committing?

findQualifier.com doesn't vet the businesses on its listings — that's on you, the same as it would be for any other job. Make sure the business is real: that it does real work, holds the licensing it needs, and has genuine crews in the field. Your state's public licensing lookup is the place to start (learn more about your state here). It's also worth reading our guide on the risks of qualifying a business you don't own before you commit.

Do you have to post a listing to find a business?

No. Anyone can browse. Posting a listing is for when you want businesses to find you instead.

Can you add a business alongside one you already qualify?

Yes, within your capacity to genuinely supervise each one. See our guides on whether a business can have more than one qualifying agent and how much time it takes to qualify a business.

What if there are no listings in your state and trade?

Post your own listing instead. Both sides are alerted when a matching listing shows up, so you'll be notified when a business posts one.
