What the Compliance does
- Tracks every license, certification, and insurance policy and warns you at 60, 30, 14, 7, and 1 days before expiry
- Runs the permit lifecycle on a calendar — applications, fee deadlines, inspection scheduling, failed-inspection follow-up, and closeout — surfacing each step for you to sign and submit
- Builds year-end 1099-NEC prep packets for every contractor paid above the IRS threshold ($2,000 for TY2026+)
- Surfaces your current certificate of insurance when a commercial customer asks for one
- Flags a compliance item you likely need but have not logged, based on your trade and state
- Keeps a timestamped compliance trail for audits and insurance renewals
Why it helps garage door owners
A lapsed license stops work. A missed 1099 is an IRS fine. A permit that misses its inspection window stalls the job. Compliance runs the calendar so the thing you didn't know was coming doesn't catch you.
