Description

The Georgia Business and Law exam fails more contractors than the trade exam ever will — and most of them never saw it coming because they studied the building, not the business. Walk in unprepared and you lose the $110 exam fee, weeks of momentum, and the jobs you can't legally sign until that license is in your hand. This book changes that. It turns the one subject that sinks Georgia contractors into the one you walk in already knowing cold — from licensing rules to lien deadlines to the numbers on your bid. INSIDE THIS BOOK • 20 full-length simulation exams — 1,000 questions matched to the real 50-question, nine-domain Georgia blueprint, so the test feels like a rerun • 12 exams in your hands, 8 more online — keep practicing on any device, anywhere, right up to test day • Georgia lien law decoded — the exact 90-day filing, 2-day service, and 365-day enforcement deadlines that trap unprepared candidates • Estimating and bidding made simple — master takeoffs, markup versus margin, and overhead so the math questions become free points • Business structures that protect you — when an LLC shields your personal assets and when commingling funds destroys that protection • Contracts without the traps — offers, counteroffers, change orders, and the difference between a minor and a material breach • Tax and payroll, demystified — sales tax versus use tax, FICA, trust-fund liability, and quarterly estimates explained in plain English • Labor law you'll actually use — worker classification, the 3-employee workers' comp trigger, and statutory employer risk • Risk, insurance, and bonding — general liability, builder's risk, and how to grow your bonding capacity • Jobsite safety and OSHA rules — fall protection, hazard communication, trenching, and stormwater compliance • Ten teaching chapters before you ever test — concepts built first, then proven under exam pressure • Online Exam Simulator + 500 digital flashcards — scan one QR code for timed, scored practice and on-the-go review This is for the first-time candidate, the working contractor with no time to waste, and anyone who has failed this exam once and refuses to pay for it twice. Every week without a license is income you will never bill. Pass this exam and you stop subcontracting your future to someone else's company. Scan, study, and sit that exam knowing you have already beaten it — buy this book today.
