How to demonstrate you meet MFR 

Depending on your annual turnover (maximum revenue financial category) you will need to submit an:

• MFR declaration—for SC1 and SC2 licensees (up to $800,000)—completed on the licence application form.
• MFR report—prepared by an accountant for Cat 1-7 licensees ($800,001+). 

An MFR report or declaration demonstrates to the QBCC that you have: 

• enough working capital—net tangible assets 
• in relation to your debts—current ratio
• for your intended and allowable annual turnover—maximum revenue.

What if I cannot meet this requirement? 

If you cannot meet the minimum financial requirements of a contractor-type licence in a particular class, then you can look at other options for working in the industry that do not include financial reporting obligations. Also, contractors in some classes are exempt from providing financial information.

Financial reporting exemption for PI insurance holders 

If you hold or apply for a licence in some licence classes, you may be exempt from financial reporting if you can provide both:

• evidence of your current professional indemnity insurance
• an estimated maximum revenue.
