Business License Questions

[Sup3rkirby]

Alright, I basically just have some questions about business licenses.

Firsly, what are they for really? And I mean that in the sense that, of course you need them to run or at least start a business, but what really does 'business' really mean then? For instance, if I were to sell templates online for profits, would that be a 'business', and would I need a license then?

I guess really I am just wondering all this b/c I would like to do some things(like sell services, templates, programs, etc.) online, and would like to not get in trouble for anything like not having a business license when one was needed.

I believe it would be up to the city and state you are in. May want to contact the license department of your state and ask them.
