E Eddie702 Licensed Electrician Location Western Massachusetts Occupation Electrician Jul 30, 2024 #5 Different states different rules. Check with a lawyer and accountant as mentioned above. For instance, in MA. there are many electricians who obtained a master's and started an LLC who are operating illegally. MA requires the masters license for a corporation to be in the company's name. If you operate as a sole proprietor you keep the license in your name
