Business Setup and EIN Application Guide

This guide will walk you through setting up your business and applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) using the online platform. You'll learn how to enter your personal and business details, select a business name, and complete the necessary forms. By the end of this guide, you will have successfully submitted your EIN application.

Upon successful payment, you'll arrive at the business setup landing page.

You will be prompted to enter your personal details, including your name, preferred name, birthday, and social security number. The platform ensures that your SSN is securely encrypted.

Choose a name for your LLC. If your first choice is unavailable, you will need to try alternate names until you find one that is available.

The platform checks the availability of your chosen business name through a service called Open Corporate. If the name is taken, try another variation.

Once your business name is confirmed as available, you can proceed with setting up your LLC with that name.

Enter your business address and indicate if it is the same as your personal address. Answer other business-related questions, such as the presence of clients outside the U.S. and business ownership of other entities.

Review the EIN application form SS4, ensuring all provided information is correct before signing the form. You can use services like Dropbox Sign to electronically sign the document.

After submitting your application, you will be redirected to your dashboard, where you can view the status of your LLC registration.

By following these steps, you have successfully set up your business and submitted the EIN application. All your business information has been verified, and your application is now pending processing. You can monitor the progress via the dashboard and await confirmation of your EIN.
