i have an EIN,but there is no business name with it. i'm filling out the forms to get a business licence this week. i'm going to be contacting wholesalers. is it going to matter if there is no business name with the EIN? should i contact the feds to have the name added?
If you plan on operating under a DBA (anything other than your own name) they should match. You generally don't need an EIN if you don't have employees, a partnership, or a corporation (there are some exceptions).
