In this article, we are going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to register your company in the US. This will serve as a comprehensive guide on all the steps involved.
Once you’ve decided on a name, it’s time to make sure that your business name is available. You can check the availability of your business name by searching the federal government’s database of trademarks, or the state government’s database of corporations’ names (if applicable).
Both databases are free and accessible online. If your business name is available, great! You’re ready to register your company. If not, try again with another option, or consider filing an application as an assumed name until you find something that works for you.
If there are any similar names in either database (which is likely), give those businesses a call and ask if they mind if you use their exact same name for your company too – this could help avoid any potential confusion down the road and save both parties some trouble later on!
You’ll need to file the appropriate paperwork with your state’s government in order to legally operate as a business. This may include filing for a sales tax permit and/or a business license. Some states, like California, will also require you to file for an employer identification number (EIN). An EIN is similar to a social security number; it allows the IRS to track all of your business earnings and expenses on one form instead of having multiple forms filed at different times throughout the year. Your state will have different requirements depending on where you live and what type of work you do as an organization or small business owner.
You will need your federal tax identification number (EIN) if you hire employees or need to open a business bank account. Your EIN is a nine-digit number that’s similar to your Social Security number. It’s used to identify businesses and corporations for tax purposes, so when you file your taxes in the future, it helps prevent confusion over which forms belong to whom.
If you plan on hiring employees or opening a business bank account, then yes—you should get an EIN now! You can start by visiting the IRS website and following their instructions on getting an EIN online (it takes about 10 minutes). Since each state has its own laws regarding obtaining one as well, it is recommended checking with them too just in case they have any additional requirements before applying for yours.
Once you’ve filed your application, it can take up to six months for your company to be registered. In the meantime, you will need to open a bank account and credit card for your business.
Be sure that the credit card is only used for company purposes only. As an individual, make sure you have another personal credit card with which to pay for your own personal expenses. You should also set up a corporate credit card for yourself and your employees so that they have access to funds when needed.
