New Businesses
EIN/Tax ID
The Employer Identification Number (EIN) serves as a unique ID the IRS gives to businesses and organizations for tax and reporting purposes. This number is essential for identifying your company in government and financial systems.
An EIN is necessary for opening a business bank account, applying for financing, hiring employees, or fulfilling tax obligations.
Every business entity must obtain an EIN for federal tax reporting purposes.
Certificate of Existence
A Certificate of Existence verifies that your Georgia business is legally registered, authorized to operate, and compliant with all state regulations.
This document is often needed when applying for business loans, renewing licenses, opening a bank account, or fulfilling tax and compliance obligations.
It serves as official proof that your company is active and legitimate, including details such as its legal name, status, and formation date. The certificate is issued with the official seal of the Georgia Secretary of State.
Federal and State Labor Law Posters
Under Federal Law, every business with at least one employee is required to display a current and compliant Federal and State Labor Law Posters in a clearly visible area at the workplace.
Failure to comply with these posting requirements can result in significant fines — potentially exceeding $7,000 per violation — and may also expose employers to legal action.
