In most cities a business license is required if you are going to make an income clowning. You can not legally charge anybody for your services unless you have a business license. The fee is minimal. You will also register the name of you business at the time of applying for your permit. If you get caught without this, the fines are huge!!! I can tell you people are looking specifically for fly by night "business" who don't carry a license. Especially if you ever perform in a public place, you must be prepared to show your business permit/license, such as at a mall, restauraunt, school, park, etc.
