In the construction and contracting world, the landscape of business licensing is anything but simple. With operations often spanning multiple cities, counties, and states—each with its own unique and frequently changing regulations—maintaining license compliance can quickly become overwhelming.
From California to Alabama, what’s required to legally operate in one jurisdiction may differ completely in another. For companies managing multiple job sites and employing a broad network of contractors, this complexity isn’t just an administrative headache - it’s a real business risk.
Join Avalara’s business license experts for a practical, 60-minute webinar designed specifically for construction and contracting professionals. You’ll learn how to navigate the maze of licensing requirements that come with mobile, temporary, and geographically dispersed workforces.
In this session, we’ll cover:
· The unique compliance challenges facing construction and contractor businesses
· Real-world risks of non-compliance, including fines, work stoppages, and lost projects
· The time and cost drain of managing licensing manually
· Proven strategies to streamline license tracking and renewal workflows
· Technology-driven solutions to reduce risk and stay ahead of changing regulations
Whether you’re a contractor managing a few crews or a construction company operating nationwide, this session will help you take control of your licensing obligations—and keep your business moving forward without costly surprises.
