An Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a federal tax identification number, is used to identify a business, similar to how a Social Security Number (SSN) identifies an individual.

EINs are essential for companies to report taxes and make payments. Most banks require an EIN to open a business bank account.

Company Rock can help you obtain an EIN for your business. The EIN is usually provided with your initial order, but you can also purchase it separately from your dashboard.
