An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your business’s federal tax ID. It’s required for most LLCs and corporations to open a business bank account, hire employees, run payroll, file business tax returns, and apply for financing. The Priority Path EIN Application Service handles the entire process of obtaining your EIN from the IRS so you don’t have to deal with confusing forms or limited‑hours online tools.
We collect your business details through a simple, secure intake—legal name, address, responsible party, ownership type, and reason for applying. Then we prepare and submit your application using the IRS‑approved method (online or Form SS‑4) so you receive an official EIN that matches your new LLC, corporation, nonprofit, or DBA. Once the IRS issues your number, we send you clear documentation you can use for banking, payroll, licenses, and vendor onboarding.
Although the IRS issues EINs for free, many small business owners prefer a done‑for‑you service so they don’t have to interpret IRS instructions, worry about mistakes, or sit on hold if they’re applying from outside the U.S. Priority Path charges a flat, transparent service fee to prepare and process the application on your behalf; you’re paying for convenience, accuracy, and support—not for the EIN itself.

Review of your business details and entity type (LLC, corporation, partnership, nonprofit, or sole proprietor) to confirm EIN eligibility and the correct reason for applying.

Important note
The IRS does not charge a fee for issuing an EIN. Priority Path’s fee covers preparation and handling of the application process. We are not a law or tax firm and do not provide individualized legal or tax advice; for questions about how your EIN affects your taxes or payroll obligations, please consult a CPA or tax professional.
