The 1 Package: All-Inclusive Florida Pollutant Storage Contractor Exam, Licensing & Business Setup Solution

Build a complete path from Florida contractor exam preparation to licensing support and business setup with The 1 Package. This all-inclusive solution combines highlighted and tabbed rental books, Business and Trade self-study courses, live classes, Business and Finance flash cards, Application Service, business formation support, EIN filing, and contractor compliance guidance.

The package is designed for candidates preparing for the Florida Business and Finance and Florida Pollutant Storage Contractor examinations who also want support organizing the next stages of their contractor journey. Instead of purchasing separate study materials and arranging individual business services, candidates receive a coordinated package covering exam preparation, application support, and foundational business setup.

The complete rental book set includes the listed references for the Florida Business and Florida Pollutant Storage exams. These books are highlighted and permanently tabbed to help candidates locate important sections, definitions, tables, calculations, contract provisions, Florida statutes, OSHA regulations, fire-code requirements, petroleum storage rules, installation practices, and inspection information more efficiently.

The Business and Trade self-study courses provide 1 year of course access. Candidates can follow an organized study structure, review major examination subjects, practice reference navigation, and reinforce the business, financial, safety, estimating, regulatory, and technical knowledge connected to the examinations. Live classes are also included to provide guided instruction alongside independent online study.

Business and Finance flash cards help reinforce important terminology, accounting principles, contract concepts, licensing responsibilities, and financial topics. Application Service is included to support candidates as they organize and prepare their Florida contractor license application.

The business setup portion includes Business Formation for an LLC or corporation, EIN Filing with the IRS, and Contractor Compliance Guidance. These services help establish a professional business foundation after the candidate is ready to move forward with the appropriate licensing and business steps.

The package price is $3,895, plus a $1,500 refundable rental-book deposit, for a total payment of $5,395. The $1,500 deposit is refunded by check when the complete rental book set is returned in similar condition within six months of delivery.

The books are provided as rentals and should be protected throughout the six-month rental period. The complete set should be returned without missing books or pages and in similar condition to qualify for the deposit refund. Candidates should avoid water damage, torn bindings, excessive wear, unauthorized writing, and alterations that affect the condition of the materials.

Exam Details

The 1 Package supports preparation for the Florida Business and Finance examination and the Florida Pollutant Storage Contractor trade examination. Candidates pursuing this contractor classification may need to complete the applicable business examination and the required trade examination as part of the licensing process.

The Business and Finance examination focuses on the administrative and financial responsibilities involved in operating a contracting business. Study areas include accounting, financial management, job costing, estimating, bidding, contracts, project administration, licensing responsibilities, employment matters, insurance, taxes, and applicable Florida laws.

The Florida Pollutant Storage Contractors General Trade Knowledge examination contains 80 equally weighted questions. The exam evaluates knowledge of pollutant storage system construction, planning, installation, protection, testing, maintenance, inspection, removal, and closure.

Trade preparation may include the following areas:

• Pre-installation planning and site preparation
• Construction estimating and material calculations
• Plans, specifications, diagrams, and technical drawings
• Excavation, trenching, soil preparation, and groundwater control
• Tank foundations, supports, anchorage, bedding, and backfill
• Underground liquid storage system installation
• Aboveground motor fuel storage system installation
• Flammable and combustible liquid requirements
• Motor fuel dispensing facilities and emergency controls
• Piping, valves, fittings, pumps, vents, and dispensers
• Spill containment and overfill prevention

• Corrosion protection and cathodic protection
• Vapor-recovery system installation and testing
• Underground facility damage prevention
• OSHA safety and hazardous-material procedures
• Petroleum storage facility inspection
• Underground storage tank removal, abandonment, and closure

The self-study courses, live classes, highlighted books, permanent tabs, and flash cards provide multiple ways to review the material. Candidates can combine guided instruction with independent preparation and timed reference-navigation practice.

Open Book Test

The Florida Business and Finance and Florida Pollutant Storage Contractor examinations are open-book tests. Candidates may bring approved reference materials into the testing room when those books comply with the examination rules in effect on the testing date.

Open-book testing requires more than bringing the correct books. Candidates need to understand which reference applies to each subject and how to locate the correct contract provision, statute, definition, table, formula, safety regulation, installation practice, or technical requirement under exam conditions.

The included rental books are highlighted and permanently tabbed to improve organization and support faster navigation. Highlighting draws attention to important sections, while tabs identify major topics and chapters. Candidates should become familiar with the tabbing system before test day and practice finding information without reading entire chapters.

All exam-room materials must comply with current rules governing approved editions, notes, bindings, highlighting, and tabs. Candidates should keep the books in their prepared condition and avoid adding unauthorized material.

Licensing Steps

1. Review the contractor classification. Confirm that the Florida Pollutant Storage System Contractor classification matches the work you intend to perform.
2. Identify the required examinations. Determine which Business and Finance and trade examination sections apply to the certification you are seeking.
3. Complete the examination registration process. Follow the applicable procedure for obtaining authorization to test.
4. Schedule the examinations. Select available examination dates after receiving the required authorization.
5. Prepare with the included materials. Use the highlighted and tabbed rental books, self-study courses, live classes, and flash cards.
6. Complete the required examinations. Take the applicable Florida Business and Finance and Pollutant Storage Contractor trade examinations.
7. Use the included Application Service. Receive support organizing and preparing the Florida contractor license application.
8. Submit supporting documentation. Provide the experience, education, financial, identity, fingerprint, insurance, and business records required for the application.
9. Complete the business setup process. Use the included Business Formation and EIN Filing services to establish the selected LLC or corporation and obtain the business EIN.
10. Review contractor compliance responsibilities. Use the included guidance to better understand the compliance obligations connected to operating the business.
11. Receive licensing approval before contracting. Passing the examinations and forming a business do not independently authorize regulated contracting work. The required contractor license must be issued before operating under the classification.
12. Return the rental books. Return the complete book set in similar condition within six months of delivery to receive the $1,500 deposit refund by check.

State Requirements

The Florida Pollutant Storage System Contractor license is regulated through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Construction Industry Licensing Board. Applicants must complete the applicable examinations and satisfy the licensing requirements connected to the certification they are pursuing.

Applicants generally must document qualifying construction experience or an accepted combination of education and experience. Candidates should maintain accurate records showing employers, project dates, job duties, supervisory responsibilities, and the types of pollutant storage or construction work completed.

Financial responsibility is another part of the contractor licensing process. Applicants may need to submit credit and financial information. Additional documentation may be required when qualifying a business, adding another business, changing license status, or applying through another available licensing path.

Applicants who intend to qualify a business may need to provide entity records, ownership information, qualifying-agent documentation, fingerprints, insurance information, and additional supporting records. Business formation does not replace the contractor licensing process, and a newly created LLC or corporation cannot perform regulated contracting work until it is properly qualified and licensed.

The included Application Service and Contractor Compliance Guidance help candidates organize their next steps. Applicants remain responsible for meeting every applicable state requirement and providing complete and accurate information.
