PART 1

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a)

PROSPECTUS

Item 1. The Plan Information.

The Company

Competitive has its principal executive offices at 3751 Merced Drive, Suite A, Riverside, California 92503. Competitive Companies Inc.’s telephone number is (951) 687-6100.

Purpose

Competitive Companies, Inc. has issued shares of common stock to Stoecklein Law Group, securities counsel to Competitive, and Accuity Financial, Inc., special accountants to Competitive, and is registering the shares of common stock pursuant to the Attorneys & Accountants Plan, which has been approved by the Board of Directors of Competitive. The Attorneys & Accountants Plan is intended to provide a method whereby Competitive will cover the costs of legal services provided by Stoecklein Law Group and accounting services provided by Accuity Financial, thereby advancing the interests of Competitive and all of its stockholders. A copy of the Stock Plan has been filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.

Additionally, Competitive has issued a total of 5,500,000 shares of common stock for consultants to Competitive, of which 4,000,000 shares are to be issued to Mr. Thomas Mahoney (3,000,000 shares), Mr. Zachery Bluestein (500,000 shares) and Ms. Tonni Smith-Adkins (500,000 shares) (collectively the “Consultants”), and Competitive is registering the shares of common stock pursuant to the Consultant Stock Plan, which has been approved by the Board of Directors. The Consultant Stock Plan is intended to provide a method whereby Competitive will cover the costs of consulting services provided by the Consultants, thereby advancing the interests of Competitive and all of its stockholders. A copy of the Consultant Stock Plan has been filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.

Common Stock and Options

The Board has authorized the registration of a total of 7,730,580 shares of the common stock at the fair market value on July 14, 2008, of $0.03 per shares, (5,500,000 shares of common stock to the Consultants, 1,230,580 to Stoecklein Law Group, and 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Accuity Financial) upon effectiveness of this registration statement.

No Restrictions on Transfer

Recipients of shares of common stock will become the record and beneficial owner of the shares of common stock upon issuance and delivery and are entitled to all of the rights of ownership, including the right to vote any shares awarded and to receive ordinary cash dividends on the common stock.

Tax Treatment to the Recipients

The common stock is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, a recipient will be required for federal income tax purposes to recognize compensation during the taxable year of issuance. Accordingly, absent a specific contractual provision to the contrary, the recipient will receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the fair market value of the shares ($0.03 per share on the date of issuance). Each recipient is urged to consult his tax advisors on this matter.

Tax Treatment to the Company

The amount of income recognized by a recipient hereunder in accordance with the foregoing discussion will be a tax deductible expense by Competitive for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year of Competitive during which the recipient recognizes income.

Restrictions on Resale

In the event that an affiliate of Competitive acquires shares of common stock hereunder, the affiliate may be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Further, in the event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder has sold or sells any shares of common stock in the six months preceding or following the receipt of shares hereunder, any so called “profit”, as computed under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, may be required to be disgorged from the recipient to Competitive. Services rendered have been recognized as valid consideration for the “purchase” of shares in connection with the “profit” computation under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Competitive has agreed that for the purpose of any “profit” computation under Section 16(b), the price paid for the common stock issued to affiliates is equal to the value of services rendered. Shares of common stock acquired hereunder by persons other than affiliates are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

Item 2. Registrant Information and Plan Annual Information

A copy of any document or part thereof incorporated by reference in this registration statement but not delivered with this prospectus or any document required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 428(b) under the Securities Act will be furnished without charge upon written or oral request.

Requests should be addressed to: Competitive Companies, Inc., 3751 Merced Drive, Suite A, Riverside, California 92503. The telephone number is (951) 687-6100.

Item 6. Indemnification of Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents.

Competitive’s Articles of Incorporation contains provisions for indemnification of its officers and directors; in addition, Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws provides as follows:

78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; advance of expenses.

1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation

or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction

determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:

(a)	By the stockholders;

(b)	By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to action, suit or proceeding;

(c)	If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

(d)	If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot to obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

5. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than the directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section:

Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official

capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his act or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.

Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Competitive pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Competitive has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i)	include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)	reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

(iii)

include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability pursuant to the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities offered at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

(5)	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, registrant has

(6)

been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
