API Processing (Florida): The absolute authority on Florida Contractor Licensing

Headquartered in South Florida, API Processing is the premier agency for navigating the notoriously complex Florida DBPR to secure your state contractor license — including out-of-state reciprocity and qualifier placements.

Conquering the Florida DBPR

Getting a Certified General Contractor (CGC) license in Florida is one of the most rigorous processes in the country. A single application error regarding W-2 experience can stall approval for months. API Processing manages this entire headache — knowing exactly how the DBPR wants the application formatted.

For out-of-state contractors, API is a necessity. They handle Florida's reciprocity agreements and offer Qualifier Placements — matching licensed individuals with companies that need to operate legally in the state.

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think API Processing is best for: Out-of-state GCs expanding into Florida, and local tradesmen who need expert help pushing their application through the DBPR.

One thing to think about is their role. They are licensing application experts, not a tutoring school. You must still pass required exams before they can finalize your application.
