What is an EIN?

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is like a social security number for your business. The Internal Revenue Services uses EIN numbers to identify your business entity for tax purposes and requires that it's used on all tax filings. You'll need an EIN number to open business bank accounts and you may need it to complete a business license or permit so its a good idea to get one soon after you incorporate or form an LLC.
