FAQ

Common questions.

Contractor licensing: how complex?

OR + TX + FL all required separate licenses with separate exams + bonds. We coordinated via BOS specialists who know each state's nuances.

How is ISO 9001 evidence kept?

Each ISO clause has an evidence requirement (procedures, records, audits). All filed in BOS vault tagged by clause. Auditor gets a secure-share-link to relevant evidence.

Did the lender care about BOS?

Yes. The lender's due-diligence team noted that the Compliance Score + auto-generated Compliance Binder reduced their work by ~3 weeks vs typical mfg client.

Multi-state employment compliance?

Each state has its own labor laws (PTO, OT, leave). We don't handle this directly: we partner with payroll providers. BOS holds the resulting employment docs.

What about workers' compensation?

Each state operations entity carries WC. We track + renew WC certificates per entity per state. Insurance carriers integrate via BOS.

Series A reporting cadence?

Monthly KPI dashboards (revenue, headcount, gross margin) auto-generated from accounting integration. Quarterly board pack assembled by founders + CFO with BOS providing entity-level data.

Could a smaller manufacturer get similar setup?

Yes. Most single-facility manufacturers start on Pro tier ($199/yr) and add contractor-licensing-by-state service à la carte ($349 per state).
