About EIN
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify a business entity for federal tax purposes. It functions as a business tax identification number and is used to distinguish one business from another.
An EIN is commonly required to open a business bank account, hire employees, file federal and state tax returns, apply for business licenses, and complete other official business activities. Many businesses are required to obtain an EIN even if they do not have employees.
About Certificate of Status
- It certifies that your Florida 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 Florida 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.
