Yes, you may register in the commercial tools and search or post your needs for a contractor.
BUT if you are goal is to register in the commercial tools to be contacted by commercial property owners THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN. You must register in the contractor tools. There is no way your company can be found in a search from the commercial tools or any other tool without you being registered in the contractor tools.

***SUBCONTRACTORS, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND YOU OR VIEW YOUR YOUR INFORMATION IF YOU REGISTER IN THE COMMERCIAL TOOLS.***
Yes, You can but we strongly urge everyone to only select the trades and subcategories they are truly good at you don't want to get a bad report card for selecting something you know very little about, it can be a double edge sword so select wisely.
Do I have to have insurance to become a member and be view by the general public?
No, but you will need to be honest when filling out the registration form and there the general public will be able to view your profile and know what your insurance status is.
If we find out you said you have insurance and you don't, we will edit your profile to show you don't and/oryou maybe band from our listing.
***some cities & states don't require insurance for certain services performed***
No, You may give as much or little information you want the public to know. You may simply type in "YES call for further info" in any of the insurance / license questions.
The reason the information is public is to give your future clients a little more security and some cities and states require that information be posted publicly, IE business cards, trucks, advertisements...
