Plumbing Business License: What You Really Need to Launch a Franchise

If you’ve ever considered launching your own plumbing business but felt overwhelmed by licensing requirements, you’re not alone. Many aspiring entrepreneurs worry that not having the correct plumbing business license will prevent them from getting started. The good news? It doesn’t have to.

At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we help franchise owners navigate licensing and compliance every day. Whether you’re new to the industry or already hold a license, our team is here to guide you through the process so you can launch your business with confidence.

What Are the Plumbing Business Licensing Requirements?

Licensing requirements for plumbing businesses vary by state, and sometimes even by city. That’s why our onboarding team works closely with each franchise owner to help them understand what’s needed in their specific location. We don’t issue licenses ourselves, but we do provide expert support and resources to help you meet local requirements.

Do I Need a Plumbing License to Start a Plumbing Franchise?

You may not need to personally hold a plumbing license to start a Benjamin Franklin Plumbing franchise, but you do need to meet licensing requirements in your state. That’s an important distinction.

Many franchisees meet plumbing business license requirements by:

• Hiring a master license holder to work in the business (such as a technician or general manager), or
• Partnering with a qualifier who holds the necessary license but does not work onsite. You operate under their license.

Our team helps you explore your available options and determine the best path forward based on your goals and location.

What If I Already Have a Plumbing License?

That’s a great start! We’ll help verify your credentials and ensure they meet local standards so you can move forward without delays.

How Does the Franchise Support Me?

From connecting you with resources to helping you work with your state board, our team is here to support you every step of the way, even if you’re new to the plumbing industry.
