Choose Your Business Structure
Select the appropriate business structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), and provide all the required information.
Complete the Registration Forms
Depending on your business structure, you will be required to fill out specific registration forms. Provide accurate details about your company, including its name, address, registered agent information, and the purpose of the business.
Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN)
If your business is an LLC or corporation, you’ll need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. You can apply for an EIN directly through the IRS website.

To finalize your business registration, you will need to pay the required registration fee. The fee amount varies depending on the business structure you choose.
