As far as I know there are no states that require an information broker to be
licensed - aside from regular business permits, etc. However, you want to
find people, screen tennents and employees. Many states regard each of those
activities as being in the relm of private investigation. Many (not all)
states will require you to be licensed to do those things. Iowa certainly
does. Florida licenses PIs and would likely consider those activities as
falling under that license.
