Also, are you saying that no one else who installs gate chips will guarantee their work? I'm not saying that he doesn't do good work, but it is not fair to post inaccurate information about a business and their competition.

Yes, and what does it (a license) matter anyway other than to collect sales tax? When I moved here 5 years ago I was going to start a small computer repair business as I had in NJ as a sole prop. for 15 years as a "side" business. I filled out a 10 line form online, gave them an ID and my TIN and became "licensed" woohoo. I also filed for a business name (ficticous name application). Then I was required to send in "empty" sales tax forms every month or quarter which was a real PITA since I did no business. Since I wanted a fictitious name, ie. business name (same as I had in NJ) getting that required placing an advertisement in a newspaper using that name. Just wasn't worth the hassle so I went out of business 3 months later.
The "business license" is totally meaningless and is primarily just for sales tax purposes and for a way for the state to find you. And NO, there was no requirement for any type of insurance for my "business" so my "license" didn't mean I was also insured.
Edit: Interesting. I just looked myself up in FL and my "business" from Jan 2017 still shows as active on a 3rd party site.
Business insurance isn't required by Florida state law except for workers' compensation. Employers must carry this coverage to protect their employees should they become injured or ill while at work
