Last week we spoke about the arrests of over 100 people in Tampa, FL, for performing unlicensed contractor work. These individuals were advertising professional services to unsuspecting homeowners who needed affordable repair. The sting operation performed by the state of Florida was not the first, in hopes of catching unlicensed criminals. Law enforcement pursuits against unauthorized individuals are routine in Florida, but the epidemic does not seem to be stopping anytime soon. If you are hiring anyone, whether it be for contracting or health-related services, make sure they are licensed. Being licensed is important for clients and providers. By knowing an individual is certified, clients can rest easy, and providers can gain more clientele. If you live in the state of Florida, anyone who works on residential or commercial projects must be licensed and insured. Anyone who is providing any health-related services must also be licensed and insured.
