Have these ready
Seven things to gather first.
- Signed IRS Form W-9.
Get the current W-9 from the IRS - CSLB license number, if your trade needs one
- General liability certificate of insurance
- Workers' compensation certificate. No employees? Use one of these instead:
- Licensed contractor: fill out, print and sign the CSLB exemption form, then upload a copy in step 4.
- Not licensed: sign the Access no-employees declaration on your phone, then upload the PDF in step 4.
- Commercial auto certificate
- Your written warranty terms
- Bank routing and account numbers for ACH
Vendor requirements
What Access requires of every vendor.
These are our requirements. They come from nearly two decades of managing homes in Southern California and thousands of repairs, good and bad. Each one is here because we learned why it matters.
General liability
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.
Commercial auto
$1,000,000 combined single limit on vehicles used for the work.
Workers' compensation
Statutory coverage for every vendor with employees. Owner-only businesses show their exemption.
Additional insured
Access Asset Management, Inc. is named by endorsement on your policy. On any job over $10,000, the Landlord of that home is named too, before work starts. Your coverage is primary and non-contributory.
Yearly re-certification
We record the date you submit. Every year on that anniversary you confirm your license, insurance, warranty and bank details are still current. We remind you 30 days ahead.
Warranty
At least 1 year on workmanship, in writing, on every job.
Tax and payment
A signed W-9 and verified ACH details before the first payment.
Independent business
You are an independent contractor. You supply your own tools, crew, vehicles and taxes. Access coordinates each job as the property manager. The work is done for the Landlord who owns the home, on property Access does not own.
Coverage must stay current. Work orders pause the day a certificate expires and restart when the new one is on file.

Main contact
Form W-9
We read your tax ID from the W-9. Do not type it anywhere on this form. The file is locked the moment it arrives; only our Accounting Coordinator can open it.
W-9: our Accounting Coordinator collects it after approval. Don't email it.
Conflict of interest
Checking this does not disqualify you. We ask so every vendor is assigned work fairly.

LicenseYour contractor license.
California requires a CSLB license for any job of $1,000 or more, any job that needs a permit, and any job done with employees or helpers.
We check every number.
Before approval, and again each year, we confirm your status, bond, classification and workers' compensation on the public CSLB record.
Because your work does not need a license, confirm all four:

Statutory limitsLicensed contractor: upload your signed CSLB exemption form; we also confirm it on your CSLB record. No CSLB license? Sign the Access no-employees declaration and upload that PDF. The exemption is not available to C-8, C-20, C-22, C-39 or D-49 license holders, and California ends it for all licensed contractors on January 1, 2028.

We ask your agent for renewals directly, so an expired certificate never pauses your work orders.

How we workFrom work order to payment.
Read each part, then confirm at the bottom. This is how every job coordinated by Access runs.
Who the work is for
Access coordinates the job: we send the work order, approve changes and send payment. The work itself is done for the Landlord who owns the home. Access manages these homes and does not own them.
Never discuss the job with a Resident.
The Landlord is the client. The Landlord is the only person entitled to any information about a job.
With a Resident you talk about one thing: when you are coming and how you get in. Never tell a Resident, or hint at:
- What the problem is, or what you think caused it
- The age or condition of anything in the home
- Any diagnosis, early or final
- What a repair might cost, or whether it will be approved
If a Resident asks, the answer is always the same: "Access will follow up with you." Then report what you found to Access only, in writing, with photos.
Breaking this rule is grounds for removal as a vendor.
You get a work order
- Every job starts with a written work order, emailed to the address you gave in step 1.
- It lists the home, the problem, how to get in, and a not-to-exceed amount.
- No work order, no payment. A call or text from a Resident is not a work order.
You accept and schedule
- Accept or decline within 24 hours.
- Contact the Resident within 48 hours to set a time. Scheduling and entry are all you discuss.
- Emergencies are dispatched by phone and followed by a written work order.
If the job changes
- Stop before you pass the not-to-exceed amount.
- Send photos and a written estimate, and wait for written approval.
- Found a different problem at the home? Email WorkOrderAccessAsset.com with photos, or update the work order in the vendor portal, which notifies the person assigned to it. We open a new work order for it.
You close it out
- Take before and after photos of every job.
- Send one invoice per work order to WorkOrderAccessAsset.com within 72 hours of finishing.
- Put the work order number and the home's address on the invoice.
You get paid
- Access pays approved invoices by ACH on the Landlord's behalf, no later than 30 days after we receive your invoice (Net 30).
- Jobs over $10,000, and any job where you used a subcontractor or bought materials on credit, need a signed lien release with the final invoice.
- Payment goes only to the bank account verified in step 7.
Who to follow up with
A work order or a job in progress: the maintenance team, (866) 830-4401, Mon - Fri, 9am to 5pm. Reply to the work order email so the answer stays with the job.
An emergency at a home: (866) 830-4401, 24/7.
An invoice or a payment: Marilu, Accounting Coordinator. BillingAccessAsset.com, (866) 830-4401 ext. 11100.
Your insurance or license on file: Carolina, Legal & Compliance Coordinator. ComplianceAccessAsset.com, (866) 830-4401 ext. 11600.
In a Resident's home
- Arrive in the window you set, and say who you are and who sent you.
- Say nothing about the problem, the cause, the age of anything, or your diagnosis. Questions go to Access.
- No smoking, no pets and no guests on the job.
- Leave the home locked and clean.
- Send every invoice to Access. Never take payment or side work directly from a Resident or a Landlord at a home Access manages.

WarrantyStand behind the work.
The Access standard: 1 year on workmanship.
It starts the day the job is finished and covers every job. If your work fails in that year, you return and correct it at no charge for your labor. Your warranty is given to the Landlord who owns the home. Access coordinates the warranty call.
What you offer beyond the standard
Landlords choose vendors on this. Tell us everything you cover past the first year.
Step 7 of 8This step is not saved
ACH paymentWhere we send your pay.
Bank details are collected after approval.
Our Accounting Coordinator will call you to set up payment once your registration is approved. Don't email bank details to anyone.
How we protect this step
- Bank numbers are never saved in your browser. If you leave, you type them again.
- They are locked the moment you submit, and only our Accounting Coordinator can open them. They are never in an email; staff emails show the last 4 digits only.
- Before the first payment, we call the phone number from step 1 to confirm them.
- We never change bank details from an email request. Changes are made here and confirmed by phone.
