Each South Carolina license must be held through a Qualifying Party — an individual who has passed the required trade and business & law exams and is associated with the licensed entity.
The qualifying party 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 party placement lets you get licensed and start bidding work — without waiting months to sit for exams yourself.
