2,686 active B licenses have a business address in Pacific Beach (CSLB, September 2026); 39% carry workers' comp and 57% are filed exempt.
If a sub cannot prove its own workers' comp coverage, carriers typically add that sub's payroll to your policy at audit. Collecting current certificates from every sub is the simplest protection.
