A Washington contractor license does not require you to take a test, so because of this, with our service, we’ll get the license for you very quickly and with zero effort on your part.
Our service for out of State clients includes:
- Register your business with the Washington Secretary of State
- Get proper certificates from your home state
- Obtain a Master business license
- Register you with the Washington Department of Revenue
- Obtain your contractor license
- 1 year (a $65.00 value) of registered agent service

For our in-State clients just getting going:
- Form your new company with the Washington Secretary of State
- Obtain your federal tax ID number
- Obtain a Master business license
- Register you with the Washington Department of Revenue
- Obtain your contractor license
- 1 year (a $65.00 value) of registered agent service

You can do it all yourself and just hire us to be your registered agent, but our full service package includes all the State fees, State filing fees, our registered agent service, which you’ll need anyway, and you won't have to spend your time preparing, waiting, and filing State documents. Our registered agent service is $65.00 a year. The cheapest and most comprehensive Washington registered agent service you’ll find.
To get a contractor license, you’ll need $250,000 of general liability insurance and a $12,000 bond for a general contractor, or a $6,000 bond for a specialty contractor.
We can recommend a couple bond companies for this, or your insurance agent will be able to get these for you. You can work on getting the insurance and bonds while we get all the State paperwork done.
Our Washington Contractor License service is $925.00 and includes all the paperwork, but we still need you to get the insurance documents to us. Our fee in that is really only a couple hundred dollars, and well worth your money. We have never had a contractor disappointed with our service. Doing the entire process yourself will probably take you 1-3 months to get done, and the slowest we’ve ever gotten things done is a couple weeks, and that’s only because we’re waiting on a slow insurance agent.
If you would like to do it all yourself and just hire us as your Washington registered agent (which you’ll legally have to have any way to get the Secretary of State filing done), we would love to take care of you that way as well. It’s just $65.00 a year. Almost half of anyone else offering that service, and we strive to offer way more services included with that price than anyone else.
You can sign up for registered agent service only, or the full service contractor license.
