If a contractor does not have proper licensing, what can result from this?

Legal enforcement actions
Delayed project completion
Increased project costs
More disputes

The correct answer is: Legal enforcement actions

When a contractor operates without the proper licensing, it can lead to legal enforcement actions taken against them. This is because licensing is a regulatory requirement that ensures contractors meet specific standards of skill, experience, and financial responsibility. If a contractor is unlicensed, they may face penalties such as fines, orders to cease work, and potential legal action from the state or other authorities. This legal framework is put in place to protect both consumers and the integrity of the construction industry. While unlicensed work can also lead to delayed project completion, increased project costs, and more disputes, the immediate and direct consequence of lacking the proper licensing is typically legal enforcement actions. These actions are aimed at holding the contractor accountable for operating outside of legal requirements, which can have serious ramifications for their business.
