If you’re looking to grow your painting business by securing construction paint contracts, follow these essential steps:

1. Establish Your Business

Ensure your business is officially registered with the state. General contractors often verify a company’s legitimacy by searching the free Secretary of State database. Being listed as a real business is the first step toward building trust and credibility.

2. Get Insured and Bonded

To qualify for construction contracts, you need comprehensive insurance coverage, including:

  • General Liability Insurance
  • Umbrella Insurance
  • Workers’ Compensation
  • Commercial Auto Insurance

Being bonded further assures contractors of your reliability and ability to complete the project. See sample insurance requirements here.

3. Use Ganarpro to Find Opportunities
