Your landlord policy has a blind spot — and it's shaped exactly like an unlicensed vendor.
When a vendor or subcontractor you hired turns out to be unlicensed or uninsured, the liability doesn't disappear — it shifts to you. CredentialClear closes that gap before you sign.

- !
If a plumber, electrician, or contractor you hired for a property is unlicensed or uninsured, courts can treat their workers as your employees — putting injury claims, medical costs, and lost wages on your business, not theirs.
- !
Most commercial GL policies exclude coverage for work performed by improperly licensed contractors. Claims tied to contractor fraud or unlicensed work are denied at nearly 3x the rate of standard property claims.
- !
Managing vendors across multiple properties — or multiple states — means checking multiple licensing boards by hand, and one missed check is all it takes.

FAQ
What if a vendor's license lapses after I've already hired them?
That's exactly what hourly re-verification is for — you're alerted the moment a tracked vendor's status changes, not just at the point you first checked.
Do I need to check every state separately?
No. CredentialClear searches across state boards, city registries, and enforcement records in one query, even if your properties span multiple states.
Is this only useful before I sign a vendor, or after too?
Both. Screen a vendor before you sign, and keep monitoring the ones you've already hired.
How fast is a search?
Real-time — results pull live status rather than relying on a cached list.
Stop finding out about an unlicensed vendor after the claim is filed.
