Establishing LLC in the USA

[Feruk]

Anyone have any experience seeing up an LLC? Any tips? Basically I need to get an EIN number or Social Security number. Not sure how else to go about it. Looking to find a cheap way to do it (cheapest I've found is ~$750ish). As well, if you register an LLC in one state, can you do business in another?

Anyone?? Nobody here has a business that sells in the USA?

$750.00 is definately on the high side. After searching for a few minutes it seems like $125 - $250 is the norm. As for registering in one state and doing business in another this is ok to do however there are certain limitations to this. Here is a quick read to give you an idea of what you should be aware of and what to look into.

Do you already have a business in Canada? What's the reason for registering in the US? I deal with American customers all the time without much problem (other than the language barrier sometimes).

No business in Canada, no business in the USA. I need an EIN number. LLC seems like the easiest way to get it as well as providing some liability limits.

dont waste your time just phone up the IRS and get a EIN . or a tax id.
