That depends on the business... and the requirements. Some examples:

If you intend to pay separate business tax and personal income tax - you will need a tax privlege license at the very least.

If you were to do pest control, as an example, you may need a special business license to meet state regulations for environmental quality.

If you are working as a tradesman, and contracting work - you may need a contractor's license for the trade(s) you are performing.

If you plan to establish any EFT system (Ability to take Visa/Amex, for example) - you will need to open a business account at your bank, at very least - and may also need a tax privlege license.

If you have any employees that are not on a 10-99 - You will need a business license and will have to withold state & federal deductions - paid quarterly.

If you have a business relationship for wholesale or to source products from any supplier or vendor - They may require you to hold a business license in order to establish an account.

There are any number of reasons you may need one or more credentials - It depends on what you are doing.
