Introducing EIN Toolkit: Modern Tools for a Broken Process

Getting an Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a requirement for almost every U.S. company; yet the process still feels like something out of the 1990s. For international founders, it’s even worse: the IRS online EIN application tool is blocked, leaving only fax as the “digital” option.

That’s the problem we built EIN Toolkit to solve.

The Problem

Starting a U.S. company from abroad should be simple, but getting an EIN creates unnecessary friction:

• The IRS only allows U.S. residents with SSN/ITIN to use the online tool.
• Everyone else must download a clunky PDF, fill it by hand, and fax it in.
• Third-party services often charge $200+ just to handle this single step.

In 2025, founders should not have to wrestle with outdated processes just to get a number from the IRS.

Our Vision

EIN Toolkit exists to remove that friction. We want to give global founders:

1. Simple tools that work in the browser.
2. Privacy by design — your data stays with you.
3. Affordable alternatives to overpriced services.

It’s not about replacing the IRS. It’s about making the experience less painful.

Our First Tool: The SS-4 Generator

The first tool we’ve released is the SS-4 Generator — a free, browser-based form builder that lets you generate a perfectly formatted SS-4 in under a minute.

• All data stays local to your browser.
• The generated PDF matches IRS requirements exactly.
• No registration, no credit card, just download and use.

What’s Next

This is just the beginning. More tools are on the way, designed to cut through the hassle and give founders back their time.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve ever tried to get an EIN as a non-U.S. founder, you know how frustrating it can be. We built EIN Toolkit to make the process simpler, starting with our free SS-4 Generator.

This is just the start — and we’re excited to keep building.
