Encroachment work requires $1,000,000 liability, but Port-area lenders push to $2,000,000 for trades and $1,000,000 for janitorial, landscaping, pest, parking, security, or waste vendors. Soft firms need an Oakland business license; security patrols hold BSIS Private Patrol Operator licenses, pesticide crews DPR Qualified Applicator Certificates.
