The face of the moon was in shadow

Almost before we knew it, we had left the ground. All their equipment and instruments are alive.Mist enveloped the ship three hours out from port. The spectacle before us was indeed sublime.A red flair silhouetted the jagged edge of a wing.

LLC and business registration in Chattanooga, TN

If you already work for yourself, registering the business opens doors: bigger contracts, a bank account in the business's name and fewer tax headaches. We set it up from scratch.

02 · Frequently asked questions

Questions from people working for themselves.

Can I open an LLC without a Social Security number?+

Yes, it can be registered with an ITIN. We also request the business EIN, which is separate from your personal number.

What is an EIN for?+

It's the business's ID number with the IRS. It's required to open a bank account in the business's name, to hire, and for 1099s.

Should I form an LLC or stay self-employed?+

If you bill a little and work alone, sometimes you don't need one. If you're getting bigger contracts or have people working with you, the LLC protects you. We'll look at your numbers.

What is the BOI report?+

It's a beneficial ownership filing that many registered businesses have to submit. Bring your business documents and we'll tell you whether yours is required and file it.

How long does it take?+

The state filing usually clears in a few business days. The EIN often comes the same day.

Do I have to renew anything each year?+

Yes, the state requires an annual report. Miss it and the business falls out of good standing. We remind you when it's due.

Can you also do the business taxes?+

Yes, that's what we do as EPC Tax Experts. We register the business and then handle its filings.
