About EIN
- An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a nine-digit number issued by the IRS used to identify businesses and certain other entities. It is also called a Federal Tax ID.
- It is commonly used for taxing and banking purposes and to register your business with the federal government.
- You will need an EIN Tax ID in order to hire employees, open a business bank account, file taxes, and apply for business loans and/or lines of credit.
- All businesses are required to have an EIN Tax ID.
About Certificate of Existence
- It certifies that your Indiana business is in existence, is authorized to transact business in the state, and complies with all state requirements.
- It may be required for loans, to renew business licenses, to open your business bank account, or for tax or other business purposes.
- It shows the official evidence of an entity’s existence and provides a statement of an entity’s status, legal name, and legal formation.
- It bears the official seal of the Indiana Secretary of State.
About Labor Law Poster
- Federal Law 29 USC Sec. 666 (I) & 29 Sec. 2005 states that an up-to-date compliant Labor Law Poster must be posted in a visible location on the property of business which has at least 1 employee.
- Penalties and risks of non-compliance with posting regulations can lead to potential fines in excess of $7,000 per instance for failure to post federally required information, and could possibly even lead to lawsuits.
