If an individual with a B license forms a corporation with two specialty contractors (one with C-10 and the other with C-36), the new corporation may be licensed in how many license classifications?

• A. Be licensed in all three license classifications
• B. Be licensed in only one
• C. Be licensed in two
• D. Be licensed in none

Answer: (A)

In California, a corporation’s license classifications are based on the licenses held by people who control and manage the company. If there are qualifying individuals for multiple classifications, the corporation can be licensed in each of those classifications. Here, one person holds a B (general building) license and two others hold C-10 (electrical) and C-36 (plumbing) licenses. Each of these individuals can serve as the qualifying person for their respective classification, allowing the corporation to be licensed in all three areas. So the corporation may be licensed in every classification represented by a qualified individual, assuming they meet all CSLB requirements and are designated as responsible managing officers.
