If you plan to operate a business in the state of Georgia, you must obtain a city or county business license. In some cases such as home-based businesses and some county areas outside the incorporated city limits, no license is needed. You should discuss the details of your situation with the licensing department. The fee for a license is contingent on the location, type, and size of your business.
