Need to prove your business is legally registered and fully compliant? VRE handles the paperwork and files with the state, so you don’t waste time chasing approvals.
How to Get a Tax ID Number
File Annual or Biennial Reports
Your state requires updated business records to approve EIN filings. This means you must be current on your annual or biennial report. These reports confirm that your business is active, compliant, and properly registered. We make sure everything is filed ahead of time so your EIN process moves forward without any issues or penalties.
Complies with all State Regulations
Every state has its own set of requirements for business compliance. From valid registered agents to up-to-date formation documents, we confirm that your business meets every standard before moving forward. Avoiding technical errors and legal oversights early saves you from EIN application rejection or state-level complications down the road.
Pay Required State Fees and Taxes
Unpaid fees and taxes can stop your EIN request in its tracks. Before filing, we confirm that all necessary payments like franchise taxes or filing fees have been made. Staying current with these obligations keeps your entity in good standing and ensures your EIN application is processed without unexpected holdups or rejections.
When Do You Need a Certificate of Good Standing?
A Certificate of Good Standing proves your business is active, compliant, and authorized to operate. It’s often required by government entities, financial institutions, or potential partners. Here are the most common situations where this document becomes necessary:
State Governments
You may need a Certificate of Good Standing when registering your business in a new state. It confirms your entity is properly formed and in full compliance with all legal and reporting obligations in your original state of registration.
Lenders or Banks
When applying for business loans, lines of credit, or opening a new business account, most banks will ask for a certificate to verify that your company is legitimate, compliant, and not facing suspension or dissolution from the state.
