This is when you first had nexus in a state (either physical or economic are most common) and had sales to customers in those states. We will provide you with strategies if you are behind on sales tax and options if you plan to raise capital and become acquired.

The process may vary from when your sales tax application is received, reviewed, and state fees are paid. Time frame with an SSN (when we can apply online) is from 1-3 weeks, and without an SSN or ITIN and when mailing or faxing is required, maybe 4-8 weeks.
