@James Battifarano Hello James! Depending on what you'd like to contract out. You MAY need to go through a background check. IF you wish to manage Ammo, Guns, Weaponry/Explosives. YES! You will need a background check AND licensing. Such as a FFL Type 8. BUT if you would like to contract out something less..... aggressive, so to speak..... say like... Coats, Food, Some Medical Equipment or Lawn Care Services like Landscaping or Smoothing, possibly Mulch Laying. NO you won't need background checks on your contract. :) hope this helped!
