What is an EIN?

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to business entities operating in the United States. It's essentially a Social Security number for your business, used to identify it for tax purposes. Whether you're offering white-label SaaS, products, or services in Hawaii, an EIN is often necessary.

How to Apply for an EIN

  1. Determine Your Eligibility: Ensure your white label business is eligible for an EIN. Generally, any entity operating a business in the U.S. needs one, particularly if it's a corporation, partnership, or LLC with employees.
  2. Choose Your Filing Method: You can apply for an EIN online through the IRS website, by mail, or by fax. The online application is the fastest and most convenient method.
  3. Complete the EIN Application (Form SS-4): Fill out Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number. You'll need to provide information about your white label business, such as its legal name, address, responsible party, and the reason for applying.
  4. Submit Your Application: If applying online, submit the form electronically through the IRS website. If applying by mail or fax, send the completed Form SS-4 to the appropriate IRS address or fax number.
  5. Receive Your EIN: If you apply online, you'll typically receive your EIN immediately. If applying by mail or fax, it can take several weeks to receive your EIN.
  6. Verify Your EIN: After receiving your EIN, verify its accuracy on the IRS website to ensure there are no errors.
