A home improvement salesperson who solicits, negotiates, or sells home improvement contracts for a contractor must be:
Explanation
B&P §7153 requires a current and valid home improvement salesperson registration from the registrar before a person works as a salesperson for one or more home improvement contractors, and §7152 defines that role; officers, members and managers of the licensed entity and the qualifying person under §7025 are outside the definition, as are retail salespeople at a fixed location whose dealings the customer initiates. No contractor licence is needed - registration is the alternative to one. The $100,000 bond is the LLC employee wage and benefit bond of §7071.6.5. And the qualifying individual under §7068 is the person whose experience qualifies the licence, a different role entirely.
