Start a business the right way

The steps in order, the official links, and the mistakes that cost new owners money.

Step 1: LLC Free EIN

Four guides

Do it in this order

Start a Tennessee LLC

An LLC keeps your business separate from you. Here's the order to do it in.

Get your EIN (free)

Your business's tax ID. The IRS gives it out free. Never pay for it.

Open a business bank account

Keep business money and personal money apart from day one.

Save for taxes

Our rule of thumb: 24% of every payment goes into its own savings account.

Not legal or tax advice. MyRevival shares general information for education. It is not medical, legal or tax advice. Talk to your doctor before changing your diet, exercise or supplements, and to a CPA or attorney about your business.
