First off, you will need a business bank account. You should choose a bank that fits your business needs, meaning that a financial institution offering small business loans would be the best if you anticipate needing funding or a bank that can provide payroll services if you have a staff. Next, you'll need to provide bank statements, as well as the processing and personal statements, which show how much you typically process and whether your business is dependable. Out of business licenses, you will most likely need to provide a general business license, sales tax registration, professional/occupational license, and worker's compensation. A physical address where forms can be mailed along with an accurately filled out application, as well as the Employer Identification Number (EIN) for financial, tax, and other legal forms are all an important part of the equation as well. Lastly, you will need to submit the articles of incorporation, PCI compliance, and other supporting documents like the marketing materials, business plan, voided check, return, shipping, and other customer policies, forecasts, and inventory reports.
