City business license

CaliforniaRetainage

As a sub, we have completed the job and retention has not been paid. Is an active city business license needed for the city in which the job took place in order to receive retention payment?

Hello, It would depend on what your subcontract states. Some subcontracts require the sub to obtain a city business license. The GC may be withholding retention based on a breach of the subcontract conditions. If the work is completed, you may still have common law rights to recoup the money.
