Why you want an EIN Number
for your business:
Open a Business Bank Account
Most banks will require your business to have an EIN to open a business bank account.
Simplify Tax Filings
Having an EIN will streamline the process of filing federal and state taxes, helping your business avoid late fees and penalties.
Strengthen Liability Protection
An EIN shows that you and your business are separate entities, which can strengthen your claim to liability protection in the event that your business is sued or goes bankrupt.
Protect Your Identity
Using an EIN for business purposes helps to shield your SSN from being passed around, which reduces the risk of identity theft.
Make Your Business Credible
Using an EIN for business transactions instead of your SSN can make your business seem more legitimate.
Get a Business Credit Card
After you get an EIN for your business, you can apply for a business credit card.
