A Specialized Service

Credit reports prepared for Florida contractor licensing

Florida contractor licensing applications frequently require credit information for the individual applicant, the business being qualified, or both. NACM South Atlantic regularly processes these reports and understands the information required by Florida licensing authorities.

Current Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board requirements call for applicable credit reports to include a FICO-derived credit score and indicate that public records have been searched at the local, state, and federal levels. NACM South Atlantic prepares contractor licensing credit reports with these requirements in mind.

Florida Financial Responsibility

Understanding the 660 credit-score requirement

Florida contractor licensing rules use a FICO-derived credit score as part of demonstrating financial stability. A score of 660 or higher generally satisfies the credit-score portion of that requirement, provided other financial-responsibility requirements are also met.

If an applicant’s score is below 660, Florida rules may require completion of an approved 14-hour financial responsibility course.

Your credit report must address more than a score.

Florida DBPR requirements specify that qualifying credit reports include
a FICO-derived score and indicate that public records were searched.

Personal Credit Reports

Why can’t NACM send me a copy of my personal report?

Personal credit reports are subject to consumer credit bureau agreements, privacy requirements, and restrictions concerning how consumer credit information may be distributed.

NACM South Atlantic obtains personal credit information specifically for an authorized licensing purpose. For that reason, we cannot provide the complete personal credit report directly to the applicant.

Questions

Florida contractor credit report FAQ

Will I receive a copy of the business credit report?
Yes. NACM South Atlantic can provide you with a copy of your business credit report.
Will I receive a copy of my personal credit report?
No. Because of consumer credit reporting restrictions, NACM South Atlantic cannot release the complete personal credit report directly to you.
Does Florida require a 660 credit score?
Current Florida contractor licensing requirements use a FICO-derived credit score of 660 or higher as one method of demonstrating financial stability. Applicants below that level may have additional requirements, including an approved financial responsibility course.
Do the reports include public-record information?
Florida licensing requirements call for the applicable credit report to state that public records have been searched at the required local, state, and federal levels.
Do I need to submit my DBPR application before ordering the reports?
Not necessarily. Credit reports can be prepared separately and associated with the appropriate licensing application according to the agency’s processing procedures.
How quickly will my request be processed?
Normal processing is generally 24–48 hours. NACM South Atlantic attempts same-day processing when possible, and expedited service may be available.
What if I am unsure which reports I need?
Contact the DBPR or Licensing Authority before ordering and they can help you determine which credit-report service applies to your request. Questions about licensing eligibility or application requirements should be confirmed directly with the appropriate licensing authority.
