You would need to form a company and your friend would need to submit an application to qualify your company with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Typically, the DBPR is going to require your friend with the license to be a W-2 employee of the company or own at least 20% of the company. Your friend will be responsible for overseeing all work of your company. If your friend already qualifies another company, you will likely have to go before the Construction Industry Licensing Board with your friend and explain how he (or she) plans to provide supervision for two separate companies. It is not impossible, but these "dual qualification" applications draw more scrutiny from the Board.
If you were thinking you would just draw up some kind of agreement to "use" your friend's license, that would be considered "renting" his license, which is illegal in Florida. You must go through the process described above. Start by search for the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board and look up their application forms for more information.
