The Business Registration checklist is intended to highlight some of the critical information you will need to provide during the registration process. Having this information ready will assist you in completing the registration process quickly. The checklist is not meant to be comprehensive of all information required of you. Much of the information you will be required or asked to provide you should know or have readily available.

  1. Be prepared to provide your business’’s EIN/TIN number or if not applicable your social security number.
  2. Know the manner in which your business was formed (i.e. incorporated, partnership, sole proprietor, etc.) and in which state.
