An LLC is a type of business structure. A journeyman or masters is a trade license. Depending on state laws, one may need to have some sort of business structure (such as an LLC but there are other options) to be in business as an electrician.

 

[LarryFine]

In VA, an LLC and Journeyman/Master are two distinct things.

Only a legal business entity can become a contractor, and must employ a Master in the specialty trade.

Greetings Mr. Hv&Lv


I have the time in grade as an electrician {40 years Nuclear I&C III Technician} although after taking the Journeyman / Master Electrician Exam Prep class, I have learned that in order to qualify for the MASC Municipal Association of South Carolina test which is through the Provexam.com, that I must have worked under a master electrician for 2 years and have them send a written letter so that I can qualify to take the test to become a Journeyman / Master Electrician for the state of South Carolina.
Also, I have a 2-year Associate Degree that would qualify me for 1 year of experience as an electrician.

There are other specifications to be considered in order to take the Master Electrician test.

If I wanted to become a qualified Electrician to perform work on my own I would consider taking the LLR and it is based on my assets to qualify.
