Obtain an EIN

An Employer Identification Number (“EIN”), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number, is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to businesses and entities operating in the United States. Think of it as your business's social security number—it identifies your company for tax, banking, and legal purposes.
