What is a Company Partnership Licence?
A company or partnership licence is a mandatory legal credential required for any business entity, rather than just an individual, to contract, advertise, or perform residential building work.
Under the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW) and the QBCC Act 1991 (QLD), companies must hold their own licence even if a director is personally qualified. This ensures the contracting entity is vetted for financial stability (MFR) and professional standards. Operating without one risks significant penalties, including fines up to $110,000, unenforceable contracts, and a total loss of legal protection.

What We Do
Getting a company contractor licence is straightforward when you partner with Trade Licence Solutions. Here is how we can help you:
- Free Compliance Check: A 15-minute phone call to confirm your required licences, relevant states, and supervisor compliance.
- Nominee Assessment: We assess your proposed nominated qualified supervisor (or supervising contractor in QLD) before anything is lodged.
- Director Eligibility Review: We review the fit-and-proper-person requirements for all directors and flag any issues that require attention before lodgment.
- Full Application Preparation: We prepare every section of your company licence application.
- MFR Assessment for QLD Company Licences: We assess your company's position against QBCC MFR requirements and coordinate with your accountant if a formal MFR Report is required.
- Ongoing Compliance Advice: Once your company is licenced, we will brief you on your ongoing notification obligations so you don't breach your licence conditions.
Is Your Company Operating Without a Mandatory Licence?
Your building company needs its own contractor licence if any of the following apply:
- Your company is the entity entering into contracts with clients
- Your company advertises building services under its own name
- Your company is the entity receiving payments for building work
- You operate as a partnership for building work
- A director recently left and was the nominated supervisor
- Your company has grown, but never obtained a company licence
NSW Requirements
In NSW, a company or partnership licence for residential building work is issued under the Home Building Act 1989 and administered by Building Commission NSW. Requirements for a NSW company contractor licence include:
- A nominated qualified supervisor
- The nominated supervisor can typically only hold one nomination
- All directors must be fit and proper persons
- Company ASIC extract

QLD Requirements
In Queensland, the QBCC requires all companies, partnerships, and trusts that carry out, supervise, or advertise building or trade work to hold a company contractor licence in addition to the individual licences of directors.
- A nominated supervising contractor
- Minimum Financial Requirements (MFR) apply to the company
- Fit and proper assessment of all directors
- Company financial documents
