Federal Requirements

Employer Identification Number (EIN)
With the exception of sole proprietors, most business types must apply for an EIN regardless of whether they have employees. Visit the IRS site to find out if you need an EIN, and if so, whether you are eligible to apply through the IRS' online application.

Licenses and Permits

Most businesses do not require a federal license or permit. However, if you are engaged in one of the following activities, you should contact the responsible federal agency to determine the requirements for doing business:

* Investment Advising
* Drug Manufacturing
* Preparation of Meat Products
* Broadcasting
* Ground Transportation
* Selling Alcohol, Tobacco, or Firearms

Federal registration of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, trade names, and copyrights, provide business owners with exclusive use of intellectual property in the U.S. as well as in a large number of foreign countries. See the Intellectual Property section of this site for details.
