You can require it, but it should be part of the original agreement, not something that is tacked on at the end. It was not part of the original bargain, so now you are trying to change the obligations of the other party for no additional compensation.

Does an agreement need to be witnessed by an independent person?

In general, no. A contract does not even need to be written to be binding in many cases. (However, it is best practice to reduce any agreement to writing.) Some types of contracts require witnesses or notaries. Check your state law if you are dealing with a settlement agreement, a property transfer, or any agreement covering a large amount of money or property. However, should there be some dispute about the validity of the agreement or the terms of it, an independent witness would be a strong factor in court.


Does a cabinet installer only need a contractor's license under Florida law as I install cabinets for Lowe's?

In Florida you must have a licence to do any home repair improvement or construction. This could be a tradesman's licence or a certified contractor's licence. As a licenced contractor in Florida I know this. As an independent subcontractor for Lowes ( in Virginia) I also know that Lowes can require whatever they want. For Lowes you must have a Contractor's licence in VA as well as a business licence for the location in which you operate. DO NOT confuse legal requirements in any state with your relationship with a major retailer. Lowes can say as a term of agreement (NOT EMPLOYMENT) anything they want. You want to work for Lowes? Do what they say. Maddening-- YES Simple YES

As an independent sub-contractor are you required to get professional liability insurance?

This depends on a number of things. It's hard to say without knowing what kind of work you are sub-contracting. First determine if you need Professional Liability coverage Or Commercial Liability Coverage. They are very different products. Most General Contractors do require the subs to carry insurance. Otherwise the General Contractor will have to pay much more for insurance coverage that effectively covers his or her own activities as well as those of the sub-contractors. If the General Contractor you are doing work for already has coverage for his subs under their insurance (usually not). What is the nature of your agreement with the General Contractor. Some Contractors insurance policies cover subs while others do not.
