Freelancing isn't running a business. Freelancing is working for another business (onsite, offsite, or at home). If you set yourself up as an agency or a studio however, then yes, a business license would be in order. Freelancing and “going full time” are quite different though.

When my husband and I decided to go full time and run our business from our home we applied for our license. We haven't been asked for it but it's pretty cheap and better than getting fined later. I think it's less important to clients and more important to governing agencies. I am pretty sure you do need to have one, although I didn’t get mine for a couple years.

I don't know of any freelancers/contractors that have business licenses. I can’t speak with authority as to the law, but feel quite safe to say that no, you do not need one.
