Trade & Builder Licensing for Businesses

Whether your business operates in one state or across several, managing licensing obligations for your company, staff, and subcontractors can quickly become complex. Each state regulator, such as the QBCC in Queensland, NSW Fair Trading, and the VBA in Victoria, has its own rules, qualification standards, and supervision requirements.

That’s where Licensing Advice comes in. We work closely with builders, construction firms, and trade-based organisations to help them stay compliant, organised, and ready to expand nationally.

Our consultants act as your external licensing department, ensuring your business never risks project delays, penalties, or lost contracts due to licensing oversights.

Two Core Services. One Goal: Full Licensing Confidence

Our consulting team combines Licensing Audits with Application Management Services, giving your business complete visibility and control over every licensing obligation across your workforce, entities, and projects.

Licensing Compliance Audits

Our Licensing Audits provide a clear picture of your company’s current compliance position and identify risks before they become costly problems.

We assess every aspect of your licensing structure including
• Active company licences and scope alignment to ensure your business holds the correct licence classes for the work you perform
• Nominee and supervisor coverage across projects to verify all supervisory roles are compliant and adequately appointed
• Worker and subcontractor licence validation to confirm everyone performing work under your banner is properly licensed
• Expiry tracking and renewal schedules to identify upcoming expiries and potential gaps in coverage
• Cross-state licensing and trade category requirements to map your business’s eligibility to operate legally in other states or under additional licence scopes

At the end of the audit, you’ll receive a detailed compliance report outlining what’s current, what’s missing, and what must be updated to stay compliant. This forms the foundation of your licensing roadmap, guiding both immediate improvements and long-term strategic growth.

Licensing Consulting and Application Management

Once we identify what’s missing, our team handles the process of fixing it from start to finish. Just like we do for individual clients, we take on the heavy lifting for your business but with a corporate approach designed for single to multi entity and multi trade operations.

We assist with
• New company or trade licence applications for upcoming projects or tenders
• Adding new categories or supervisors as your team expands
• Managing upgrades, downgrades, and renewals to maintain compliance
• Coordinating directly with regulators including QBCC, Fair Trading, and the VBA
• Preparing your licensing position for major bids and upcoming contracts

Our consultants act as your internal licensing department, translating complex regulations into clear, actionable solutions so you can focus on running your business while we handle the compliance.

Interstate Expansion Preparation

When your business is ready to grow beyond one state, Licensing Advice helps you expand with confidence. Each state has unique qualification pathways and supervision structures. We streamline the process by mapping exactly what your business needs to become licensed interstate before you quote or tender for work.

Our consultants help you
• Identify the correct licensing pathways across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria
• Prepare staff and supervisor licensing ahead of deadlines
• Maintain compliance as your operations expand across multiple jurisdictions
• Unlock new licensing opportunities that may allow you to take on additional scopes of work

This proactive approach ensures your company is legally prepared to seize new opportunities without delay.

Ongoing Support and Compliance Maintenance

For growing businesses, compliance isn’t a one off task. It requires consistent oversight and up-to-date knowledge.

We provide long-term support and monitoring to help you stay ahead of renewals, regulator changes, and new licensing rules.

Our ongoing support includes
• Quarterly compliance reviews across all company entities
• Live tracking systems for worker, subcontractor, and supervisor licences
• Automated renewal reminders and regulator updates
• Priority access to our consulting team for business changes or licence additions

With Licensing Advice managing your compliance, you’ll never have to question whether your company is properly licensed again.
