Just because someone's biz name isn't registered,doesn't mean a thing

It means if he's putting up or taking down radio towers as anything but an employee on someone elses payroll he wasn't licensed to do it...hence not a legitimate business.

Sorry,but you're wrong.My business is a DBA.I'm licensed/certified by the state of Alabama.However,my business name will not show up on any state list.It's not illegal.I use my SS# as my tax i.d.,have a banking DBA account,insurance,etc.,,

One more thing....He could have set up his business name as something entirely different(ficticious) and used it for his license,taxes.etc.,, and then used the "Prometheus" name as a subsidiary.Nothing out of the ordinary and not illegal if he indeed used his "true" business name on contracts,insurance apps.,tax i.d.,etc,..

I'm going to see if I can round up what his state laws are concerning this.I do believe however,that he was just a young entrepreneur who got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
