I run a small online shop under my LLC but want to start a new product line using a DBA. I’m not planning to hire employees right now, but I’ll need to share my business information with suppliers. Should I get an EIN for the DBA?

You don’t legally need a separate EIN for your DBA unless you plan to hire employees. However, obtaining an EIN is recommended as it allows you to share it with third parties, like suppliers, instead of your Social Security Number, reducing the risk of identity theft.
