Licensing
Docks, seawalls, boat lifts, pilings and shoreline work generally require a licensed contractor in the right category plus permits. In-water work typically needs approvals from the local government, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and often the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and in the Keys additional protections for seagrass, coral and other habitat can apply. The license belongs to the qualifier, so plan for who qualifies the company after a sale.

Frequently asked questions
How do storm-driven repair jobs affect a marine contractor's value?
Buyers usually look at normalized earnings. Storm repair can be a spike, so it helps to show repeat maintenance, new seawall and dock work and the backlog you carry in a typical year.
