Nope.
Groomers do not need a vocational license like a hairdresser does. If you have your own business, you need a business license like any business does. You can go to an accredited school and become "certified" or you can take a series of tests and become a Nationally Certified Master Groomer. But that is all optional.
The grooming industry has been trying to become licensed for years now. There are a few states where laws were proposed (CA, NY and PA) but as far as I know nothing has been finalized...at least with NY and PA it hasn't. I have mixed feelings about the whole licensing thing. It would be good to have (though I could do without having to pay the gov't more $$) , but I have read some of the proposed laws, and obviously the people who wrote them dont know the first thing about grooming.
Unfortunalty, anyone can grab some scissors and a clipper, call themselves a groomer and open up a grooming shop without any proper training..either from a school or from a good experience groomer.

No. I know for a fact, not in Ga.
And I dont know of any states that require a groomer to be certified or licensed.

It would be classified as a business, so yeah, I would think a business license would be needed.
