Before you even start thinking about developing a business you should find out your state, county or country's legal requirements. I don't know anything about forming a business outside of the USA but I can tell you about inside it. Each state is different in their licensing and permits. For example in the state of California most of the business licenses are issued at the county level with additional requirements at the city level. In the state of Oregon the business licenses are issued at the state level and only certain business types have further requirements at the city level. Also each state has different requirements for different types of businesses. The state of Oregon will not allow you to sell anything (other than garage sales) without a business license, that includes the occasional Avon lady sales. Other states will allow you to sell up to an XXX amount of dollars per year without a business license.
LLC is another term you will hear about when you want to form your business. What is a LLC? LLC stands for "limited liability company". It is often formed when there is a partnership or group that wishes to run the company as a whole rather than just one owner.
