Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Illinois

You normally will need a general business license issued by the municipality in which your principal place of business is located. Whether any other given municipality may require additional licensing is something you will have to contact that municipality about. Many venues will require you to prove your licensing and insurance in order to conduct your business at their venue. For a complete indication of the various licensing and other authorizations (EIN, etc.) you may need to conduct your business generally, it would be helpful for you to contact an attorney.
