JM>>Yes he can. All he has to do is hire a person with a master plumber's

JM>>Nothing requires the owner to be licensed.

JM>>At least in the States I am personally familiar with.

 JB> Nor in the state of Ohio, where Bob lives.

 Note the part about "...the business he claims he wants to
 buy."? He isn't going to be able to hire people to do all the
 work, not at $250K/yr. Not good people. If he had enough to buy
 a franchise from a national chain, maybe, but not a small
 plumbing business.
