A contractor's contract form lists a DBA name but not the legal licensed business name. What should be checked?
Correct Answer
D) Whether the DBA and legal business identity are properly reflected in CSLB and contract records.
Check the contracting identity against the name on the license, including the properly recorded DBA. Section 7117 addresses acting under a different licensed name or personnel. A DBA does not by itself create a different entity or make a contract invalid; the issue is whether the actual identity and license match.
