The right relationship has to work on both sides.

We screen the business, review the license, and put the role, oversight, compensation, and expectations on the table before anyone files.

01 / Business owners

You have work to win. We help establish the licensing path.

We map the classification, entity, and qualifier requirements around the business you actually intend to run, then identify a licensed professional prepared to participate.

A construction professional reviewing an active California jobsite

No passive qualifiers. No rented numbers.

A qualifier must take an active role and exercise the direct supervision and control California law requires. Build Right Partners facilitates legitimate matches, application support, and business coordination.

Review CSLB requirements

Know what the relationship requires before you commit.

Every classification, entity, and qualifier relationship is different. General information only—not legal advice.

Q01

What is an RMO or RME?

An RMO is a responsible managing officer who serves as the qualifying individual for a corporation or LLC. An RME is a bona fide employee who serves as the qualifier and must satisfy CSLB employment and active-involvement requirements.

Q02

Does finding a qualifier guarantee a license?

No. CSLB controls every licensing decision. We help build a legitimate match and an organized application, but approval, timing, exams, fees, bonds, and additional requirements remain subject to CSLB review.

Q03

Can someone simply rent a license number?

No. California requires the qualifier to exercise direct supervision and control. Build Right Partners does not arrange passive license renting or paper-only relationships.

Q04

Can licensed professionals join the network?

Yes. We welcome active and recently inactive California license holders. Eligibility depends on license status, classification, employment, ownership, entity structure, and CSLB rules.
