How to Move Your Company and Keep the EIN (and What Happens If You Lose It!)


Listen Later

Your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is not just a tax ID—it is your company’s legal identity. It connects your business to the IRS, banks, payroll providers, credit bureaus, and every institution that recognizes you as a continuing entity. Losing it is not a clerical error—it is corporate death.

In this presentation, I explain why preserving your FEIN is absolutely critical when moving your business to a new state and why only redomestication—not mergers, dissolutions, or foreign registrations—can lawfully preserve it. You’ll learn how the FEIN functions as your company’s DNA, what happens when it’s lost, and how improper restructuring can cause severe tax consequences, credit loss, and banking disruption.

Redomestication keeps your legal entity, tax identity, contracts, and credit history intact—ensuring your company survives the move without interruption. Learn how to protect the heart of your business. Learn more: https://www.cummings.law/redomestication/
