R.D. Ventures, Inc.

What this record tells you

R.D. Ventures, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC057401, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1994, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 18% of the 316 active general contracting licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2007. That is 32 years of continuous licensure.

R.D. Ventures, Inc. is one of 193 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Ocala, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
