Things may have changed, but last time I checked, the State of North
Carolina had no business license requirement for pure services work.

Probably checking out this page from the NC Department of Commerce
would be a good start:

<http://www.nccommerce.com/en/BusinessServices/StartYourBusiness>

Wake Tech also offers a series of seminars/talks on things of interest
to small business owners, you may find some useful information there:

Look under the section titled "Business & Industry Center"


HTH, YMMV, IANAL, etc.
