my fiance does construction and builds homes in Jamaica. I know he doesn't need a license or certificate to do this in TX, but does he need a work permit to start his own construction company in the States?

I have a couple jobs waiting on his arrival but not sure on how to do it legally. I know he needs a work permit to work for someone else.
