The RBQ licence number on a quote
It is the first thing an informed customer looks for, and the first thing a template forgets.
In Quebec a construction contractor must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. The licence number identifies the company and lets a customer confirm it is in good standing before signing anything.
Where it goes
At the top of the document, next to your legal name and address, where the customer looks first. Not in small print in the footer.
- Your exact legal company name, as registered on the licence.
- The RBQ licence number.
- The company address.
- Your GST and QST numbers, if you are registered.
The name on the quote has to match the name on the licence. A customer who checks the RBQ register and cannot find an exact match starts asking questions, even when everything is in order.
Why customers check
The RBQ register is public. A customer can see the licence category, its status, and any restrictions. Printing the number up front shortens that check instead of making it feel necessary.
Closlyo prints your licence number on every quote, and refuses to send a document missing your legal name, address, tax numbers or licence. The refusal names every missing field at once.
Common questions
Is the RBQ number required on a quote?
The licence itself is required to operate. Showing the number on your documents is the expected practice and the simplest way for a customer to verify you.
Where can a customer check my licence?
On the Régie du bâtiment du Québec's public register of licence holders, by number or by company name.
Does the name have to match exactly?
Yes. The name on the quote should match the name registered on the licence, or the check fails.
Closlyo puts your RBQ number where the customer looks for it, on every quote.
