# Subcontractors for Pest & Wildlife Control

> Keep the outside companies you hire in one place, with their terms and the insurance and license papers you have reviewed. Each brand sets its own rules for who does the work.

## Overview
Keep the outside companies you hire in one place, with their terms and the insurance and license papers you have reviewed. Each brand sets its own rules for who does the work.

## Key outcome
Hire outside help without losing track.

## What you can do
- Keep contractor businesses and contacts together
- Review insurance, licenses, and tax papers
- Set terms and materials rules for each brand

## Explore the capabilities
### Contractor businesses
- Keep each outside company with its contact person, phone, email, and the work it does.
- Track status from prospect to onboarding to active, on hold, or inactive.
- Keep a record history of every change.

### Onboarding papers
- Choose which papers each brand requires: agreement, insurance, license, tax, or safety.
- Store contractor papers privately, never shared with customers.
- Review each paper and see when a contractor is ready to work.

### Terms for each brand
- Set whether a brand uses employees, contractors, or both.
- Decide who supplies materials and how material costs are paid back.
- Keep payment terms and rate notes for each brand and contractor.

## Settings and choices
- Pick the papers each brand requires before a contractor is ready.
- Set default materials, reimbursement, and payment terms, then adjust them for one contractor.

## From start to finish
1. Add the contractor business and its contact.
2. Collect and review their insurance, license, and other papers.
3. Set their terms for each brand and mark them ready.

## More ways to use it
- A roofing partner’s insurance expires. Upload the new certificate and review it before their next exclusion job.
- Your pest brand pays for materials while your wildlife brand has contractors supply their own. Set each brand’s terms separately.

## Feature questions
### Does adding a contractor create an employee login?
No. Contractors are business records, not staff accounts, and never get office access.

### Does onboarding approve payment or legal status?
No. Being ready means the required papers were reviewed. It does not decide worker classification or approve payments.

## Here’s an example
You hire a roofing crew for a large exclusion job. Check their insurance is reviewed and their terms are set before the work starts.
