Help Us Teach Consumers - "Inquire Before You Hire!"
The Department of Consumers Affairs (DCA) includes 40 regulatory entities responsible for licensing, registering or certifying practitioners. Many of these licensed professionals are forced into unfair competition with unlicensed service providers who can underbid, often by providing substandard services. DCA's Inquire Before You Hire campaign wants consumers and the business community to understand the dangers inherent in unlicensed business activity.
You can help DCA combat unlicensed business activity, "level the playing field" for licensed professionals in your industry, and protect consumers. Offer your DCA license number to consumers. Encourage them to visit InquireBeforeYouHire.com to verify your license and that of everyone else with whom they do business.
