Registrations & licences for US businesses

Every number and permit a business needs to operate — obtained in the right order, with the renewals calendar built in.

What we cover

One page per intent — search the one that matches, or start with the fit call.

EIN registrationThe federal tax ID — including the fax route that works for foreign owners without an SSN, and why mail is the wrong answer.
State payroll registrationsUnemployment insurance and withholding accounts opened per state before the first pay run needs them.
Seller’s permit registrationThe state sales-tax permit, registered where nexus says you need it — with the resale-certificate layer explained.
FDA food facility registrationThe federal registration plus the biennial renewal window nobody remembers until production stops.
Business licence research & filingThe state and local licence stack for your activity and location, mapped and filed instead of guessed.
SBA certifications & SAM.gov8(a), WOSB and HUBZone certifications plus the SAM.gov registration federal contracting starts from — eligibility mapped, file prepared.
501(c)(3) determination supportForm 1023 or 1023-EZ prepared on an attorney-reviewed foundation — because the exempt-purpose language was either right at incorporation or gets fixed now.
Importer setup (CBP + bond + ACE)Importer-of-record status, the customs bond and the ACE portal — set up right; entries filed for you need a licensed broker, and we coordinate one.
Product certification coordinationUL, FCC and CPSC requirements mapped for your product and the certification path coordinated with the test bodies.
LEI registrationThe Legal Entity Identifier via a GLEIF-accredited operator — obtained and put on a renewal calendar.
GS1 barcode registrationReal GS1 prefixes — not resold ranges that break at retail onboarding — registered and documented.
ISO certification coordinationISO 9001 and friends via accredited bodies (ANAB / JAS-ANZ) — the gap work organised, the audit coordinated, no certificate-mill shortcuts.

How the work runs

A named person on our team owns your file; software carries the transaction-level grinding underneath their review. We work inside the system you already use — never a platform of our own that your data has to move through.

  • QuickBooks
  • Xero
  • NetSuite
  • Sage
  • Zoho Books
  • Bill.com
  • Gusto
  • Dext

Where this stops, and who picks it up

We are a consulting firm — licensed work runs through partner CPA firms. Here is the licence line in the United States, stated before you buy anything — each of these is carried out by your CPA or enrolled agent:

Stays with your CPA or enrolled agent

  • Issue compilation, review or audit reports — those are restricted to licensed CPA firms.
  • Prepare or file federal or state tax returns.
  • Represent you before the IRS, or respond to notices on your behalf.
  • Determine sales-tax nexus, or worker classification.
  • Advise on which entity to form, or draft formation documents — that is legal work.

Questions worth asking before you start

Will you deal with the Internal Revenue Service on my behalf?

No. We are a consulting firm — licensed work runs through partner CPA firms. Anything that means dealing directly with IRS — filing, correspondence, representation — stays with your CPA or enrolled agent. What changes is how much work it is for them: they open a file that is already reconciled and coded, not one they have to rebuild first.

Who actually does the work — a person or an AI tool?

A named person on our team owns your file and reviews everything that leaves it. Software does a real share of the grinding underneath it — coding, matching, flagging the obvious gaps — but nothing regulated happens without a person’s judgement, and nothing here is signed or filed by an algorithm.

Do you only work with the industries listed here?

These are the sectors where the vocabulary and the pitfalls are specific enough to justify their own page — deferred revenue for SaaS, WIP for professional services, job costing for construction. Outside these, the same bookkeeping and reporting services still apply.

We are a mix of a couple of these — can you still help?

Yes. Most businesses do not sit in exactly one bucket. Tell us the mix on the fit call and we build the chart of accounts and reporting around what you actually do, not the closest label.
