31% of Escondido's C-10 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (19%), A General Engineering Contractor (7%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 36% sole owners, 59% corporations, 4% LLCs; median time licensed 16.9 years.
For electricians, underwriters focus first on: shock and electrocution injuries to employees; and falls from ladders and lifts. See the full coverage guide for electrical contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.

163 active C-10 licenses have a business address in Escondido (CSLB, September 2026); 50% carry workers' comp and 48% are filed exempt.
If you have employees, yes — California Labor Code 3700 requires it. With no employees you can currently file an exemption, but beginning January 1, 2028 (SB 1455), CSLB will require workers' comp for all active licenses; only joint-venture licenses remain exempt.
