We will establish your business as a separate legal entity. Request an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. An EIN is like a Social Security Number for your company. You’ll use it to identify your business when you pay taxes to the IRS. When you form a separate legal entity for your company (like an LLC or corporation) it can make it easier to create a business credit file and, eventually, qualify for business financing.
We will also establish your Motor Carrier account. The MC number is 6 digits long and assigned by the FMCSA to both carriers and brokers which gives them the authority (permission) to cross state lines with products, material, and more.
UCR is an abbreviation of Unified Carrier Registration. It’s a registration system mandated at the US federal level. It registers the operators of commercial vehicles. Any for-hire motor carriers transporting property in interstate commerce in commercial motor vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight of at least 10,001 pounds whichever is greater.
We will also establish your DUNS, Cage Code, UEI and SCAC if you request them.
