An exclusive discount on business formation

Bank of America and Incfile1 are working together to make it quick, easy and less expensive than you may think to establish a legal business entity, including filing for a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) for your new business.

For example, in nearly all states you can create a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for less than $350. And as a Bank of America client, you’ll get a $70 or $150 exclusive discount when completing your business formation with Incfile.2

After completing the business formation process, you may also be eligible for additional offers from Bank of America when you apply for business banking accounts.3
