Electrical Business License Information
The MA Electrical Board (BSEE) has issued every electrical and systems business entity a new “A1” business license number in accordance with 237 CMR 16.03. This license will need to be renewed along with your master contractor license in 2022 and every three years thereafter. The fee for this new license is the same as a master license renewal. The BSEE has not set a date for when company vehicles and advertising must reflect the business license number in lieu of the master license number. We will continue to keep you posted on changes and news updates.
