What is a Qualifying Agent?

A business that contracts in Florida must be qualified by a licensed Qualifying Agent — a primary qualifying agent responsible for supervising all operations, or a secondary qualifying agent responsible for the work they supervise.

The qualifying agent is the person whose exam credentials and experience allow a business to hold a contractor license. If your company doesn’t have someone who has passed the required exams, a qualifying agent placement lets you get licensed and start bidding work — without waiting months to sit for exams yourself.
