A Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) is your business’s Social Security number for tax purposes. The IRS requires an EIN for most business entities, and it’s essential for opening business bank accounts, hiring employees, and filing tax returns.

Our EIN application service gathers and submits:

  • Legal business name and entity type
  • Responsible party’s name and Social Security Number
  • Business physical address (cannot use P.O. Box)
  • Nature of business and NAICS code

We secure your EIN immediately through IRS online systems—typically within 24 hours.

If  the responsible party doesn’t have a social security number, it usually takes longer to process – typically 4-7 weeks
