I'd prefer not to patronize illegal enterprises, but it frankly never occurred to me to ask to see anyone's business license.
The ones I used are actually breaking the covenants. One makes slide out shelves in his garage, one repairs sprinkler systems and keeps an inventory at home, and one washes windows and keeps all his supplies and equipment at home. Why did I use these scofflaws? Because they do a good job and their transgressions don't affect me personally. If I lived next door to the shelving guy, and heard his woodworking equipment every day, I am sure I would run a process starting with personal contact. If I lived next door to either of the others, I assume their comings and goings would go virtually unnoticed by me, and....well, you know, live and let live.
