Tips, Links And Resources To Establish Your Company

Awesome! You’re starting your own business. Congrats!

If you’re on this page, you probably don’t already own a business. If you do already have a corporate entity – specifically, you have an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS – then you can move on to the next step in your adventure by clicking here! Oh, and it doesn’t matter what type of business it is! Maybe you have an accounting firm, or a florist shop, or a dry cleaning business.

Whatever it is, you can submit that EIN and register to use the Arise® Platform through your existing business.

If you do not have an existing company and you want to create your own corporation, there are several options available to you:

1. 1. Consult any attorney or accountant for advice
   2. Use an online incorporation filers LegalZoom, Bizfilings, Gary Johnson, P.A., NOLO or The Company Corporation
   3. Visit your state’s web site for information on how to incorporate. Then obtain your free FEIN online through www.irs.gov

You should also review this link that lays out the “5 steps to incorporate” .

*Please note that, at this time, Arise does not contract with companies incorporated in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, New York and Wisconsin.

Once you have the EIN for your new company…

It can take anywhere from 1 day to 3 weeks to register your business with the state you live in and get your EIN.  Once you receive it, just log in to the registration portal and follow the instructions to submit your company EIN.  When that is complete, you will be asked to sign some final paperwork and you’ll be ready to select a client program to certify and service!
