# Difference between a Contractor & Tradesperson Profile

There are two types of profiles on the ToolBelt app, contractors and tradespeople. 

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/lr4Mkeb3tFfoEcQKy7OplHKGO5s0t54HoFjUFfdUsMh44if6xkq1dGGtBNowbGAI4CkfvJywSpTX2l8PnrNQzpB_f2EwbIUFZVbaxgckO39huOlnR1gkvLh4ytgCu2nrvsTaa5GLm3UR)

Contractors are REQUIRED to have an active contractor’s license as deemed by the jurisdiction that you are working in.

A contractor on ToolBelt has the ability to:

- Apply to projects
- Post the work you need done

A tradesperson on ToolBelt is:

- Likely very skilled in construction
- Does not possess a contractor’s license

Whether you are a tradesperson or a contractor, it is important to [create a profile](https://knowledge.toolbelt.work/knowledge/video-creating-your-account-on-toolbelt?hsLang=en) with a profile picture, bio and pictures of your work. You can apply to as many projects as you want for free. 

With any profile you can find work and build connections. Learn how to send connection requests [here](https://knowledge.toolbelt.work/knowledge/video-how-to-connect-with-quality-contractors-on-toolbelt?hsLang=en).
