What name to sign up /w paypal with EIN intentions?

Mitsu · #1 01-23-2013

I've got my personal EIN ready to give paypal when needed, but I'm not sure what personal name I should give the new business account I'm about to make.

I know your paypal business information needs to match 100% to the EIN information, but not sure about the personal name.

Have any of you ever had a problem giving PP your EIN when your paypal had a stealth name?

I would use my personal name for this matter since I know it takes a lot more than just a name to link, but it's very distinct and it wouldn't surprise me if nobody else was signed up to paypal with it (expect my limited account

).

Thanks for advice~

Why do you have a personal EIN? S-corp maybe?

Sole Proprietor. (getting my feet wet before LLC)

Don't worry, I've done my homework on taxes and know what I'm doing in that regard.

What I don't know is how paypal links and what paypal needs to green-light with the IRS.

For stealth purposes I think your S-corp and EIN will be useless but may come in handy if you wish to tie a couple of LLCs together with an umbrella corp.
