How to become General Contractor In Illinois?

Hey everyone!

I have been doing some extensive research on how to become a GC in Illinois.  Although it says you don't need a specific license (only for roofing and pluming) I'm still unsure on how the process works.  Do you still need some other type of license?  Or could I literally go out and do work on a property for payment?  Things that I'm guessing:

1. I would need some type of bond for work?

2. Would setup a business

3. Would get insurance for business (would guess there is specific construction insurance?)
