Service
Your EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your company's federal tax ID — required to open a US bank account, hire, and file taxes. We get yours even if you don't have an SSN.
What an EIN is for
An EIN is a nine-digit number the IRS assigns to your business. You need it to open a US business bank account, connect a payment processor like Stripe, hire employees or contractors, and file federal taxes.
It is free from the IRS — but the process is where founders get stuck, especially without an SSN or ITIN.
EIN without an SSN — for non-US founders
US residents with an SSN can often get an EIN online in minutes. Without an SSN, the IRS requires a Form SS-4 submitted by fax or mail, which typically takes a few weeks.
We prepare and submit the SS-4 for you as a third-party designee, so you don't need an SSN or ITIN, and you don't need to call the IRS yourself.
- No SSN or ITIN required
- We prepare and file Form SS-4 for you
- Typical timeline: a few days with an SSN, a few weeks without
- You receive your official EIN confirmation letter (CP 575)
