What it keeps track of
Set up around your trade, not an HR department
Generic compliance trackers are built for enterprises. Standing Good is built around the state deadlines, CE hours, bonds, and insurance certificates a small trade shop actually carries.
- Licenses
- Your state contractor license and any trade license, with the renewal date that applies to your trade and state.
- Insurance certificates
- General liability and workers comp certificates, so the one a client asks for is never the one that expired.
- Bonds
- Surety and license bonds, tracked next to the license they back.
- CE hours
- Continuing education requirements, so you know how many hours are still owed before a renewal window closes.

Rules differ by state. Standing Good reminds you of the dates you enter. It is not legal advice.
How it works
From scattered calendars to one calm ledger
Set up
We set it up around your trade and state
Tell us your trade and where you work. Standing Good is set up around the deadlines, CE hours, bonds, and certificates that apply to you.
Track
Everything lives on one board
Each license, certificate, bond, and CE requirement gets a row and a status: in good standing, due in 30 days, or lapsed.
Chase
Reminders arrive long before a date
Standing Good chases each renewal for you, early enough to gather paperwork, finish hours, and get the certificate from your agent.
Renew
Close it out, and the row goes green
Once a renewal is done, the item returns to good standing and the next date is on the board.
Old way, this way
A missed date is expensive. Finding out late is the real problem.
| Topic | Calendars and spreadsheets | Standing Good |
|---|---|---|
| Where deadlines live | A wall calendar, a spreadsheet, and someone's memory | One board with a status on every item |
| How you find out | A notice in the mail, or a client asking for a certificate | A reminder well ahead of the date |
| Who chases it | You, between jobs | Standing Good |
| What a miss costs | Unlicensed-work penalties, stalled jobs, lost bids | A row you can see turning amber while there is still time |
Never work on a lapsed license again.
For owner-operators and office managers in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, general contracting, and roofing, with small crews and too many dates to hold in your head.
Questions
Straight answers
Who is Standing Good for?
Owner-operators and office managers at small US trade businesses, such as electrical, HVAC, plumbing, general contracting, and roofing, with 1 to 15 employees.
What does it track?
State licenses, insurance certificates, bonds, and CE hours, each with its own renewal date and status.
How is it different from a generic compliance tracker?
Generic trackers are built for HR teams and enterprises. Standing Good is set up around the real deadlines, CE hours, bonds, and certificates of each trade, and it chases the renewals for you.
What do the statuses mean?
In good standing means nothing needs action. Due in 30 days means a renewal is coming up. Lapsed means a date has passed and it needs attention now.
