License and insurance reminders for general contractors
A general contractor usually carries a contractor license and several insurance policies, often a surety bond too, and collects certificates of insurance from subs. Each one expires on its own date. Miss one and you can be off a job until it's sorted. LicenseLedger keeps every date in one place and emails you before each one expires.
No credit card required.
