Re: Service Contract

Get the owner to agree in writing that you may subcontract out A, B and C work to XYZ company. The intent is that the owner doesn't want you to sub out work to someone that may not have good credentials without his opportunity to approve the sub.

Re: Service Contract

It depends on what the obligations you are subcontracting. You should have a local business attorney review the entire contract before hiring the sub. Of course, you could get the owner's consent either way.
