When you start a business and form your LLC (or corporation), you'll most likely want to create an EIN because it facilitates many of the other parts of running a business. You need an EIN to: - Open a business bank account - File your business taxes - Apply for licenses or permits - File Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) and Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) Having an EIN makes it possible to get approved for a business bank account, and a business bank account can help separate your personal and business finances—an important step in protecting your liability shield and staying organized. Many business owners get one early on so they can start off on the right foot and avoid delays when setting up essential services. ![How Will I Use My EIN?](/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fein-image-2.ef60e715.webp&w=3840&q=100) ### Can a Non-Resident Get an EIN?

But if you're serious about building a legitimate, successful business, getting an EIN is a smart move. It's required to open a business bank account, file federal taxes, and keep your personal and business finances separate—an important step in protecting yourself legally and financially as you grow. ### Do I need an EIN to get a business bank account? ![icon](/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Ficons%2FfaqPlus.png&w=128&q=75) Yes, to apply for a business bank account you will be required to have an EIN. ### How long does it take to get an EIN? ![icon](/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Ficons%2FfaqPlus.png&w=128&q=75) If you file directly with the IRS, it can take several days or longer.
