What are the requirements for a contractor to qualify more than one construction business?

In order to qualify an additional business entity, you must attest to your supervisory ability for each business.

If you do not own 20% or more of the proposed business, or if the approval of the application will result in you qualifying three or more businesses (regardless of whether or not you already qualify three or more), you will be required to appear in front of the Board.

However, the mandatory board appearance may be waived if the applicant can demonstrate that they are a W2 employee of the proposed business, and the proposed business is either currently qualified or was previously qualified within 90 days of submission of the application. The mandatory board appearance will not be waived if, upon approval of the application, the applicant will qualify 3 or more businesses.
