Frequently asked questions
Do general contractors need a license in South Carolina?
Yes. South Carolina requires general contractors to hold a state-issued license, administered by the South Carolina Contractor's Licensing Board. GCs are also responsible for verifying that subcontractors hold the correct licensure for their trade. PaperBoss lets you store and track license documents alongside COIs and W-9s.
How do I verify subcontractor insurance in South Carolina?
The standard approach: request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) from each sub before work begins, confirm the coverage limits meet your contract requirements, confirm you're listed as Additional Insured, and track the expiration date. PaperBoss automates all four steps for South Carolina GCs.
How do I collect W-9s from subs in South Carolina?
The IRS requires you to collect a Form W-9 from any US contractor you pay $600 or more in a tax year so you can issue a 1099-NEC. PaperBoss sends each sub a secure upload link for their W-9 during onboarding, stores it encrypted, and exports clean data for 1099 season.
