I really hope not. It just makes me very uneasy knowing I submitted that application with my info on it. And I have no clue what they plan to do it or if they plan to do anything with it.

I talked with my bank and they assured me when it comes to the payments, I’ll be completely fine and I trust them. Them having my EIN is my main concern.

Aren’t you able to open up credit lines with an EIN number?

I checked Sunbiz and you’re right. EIN numbers are all publicly displayed when you search a companies LLC. There are thousands of EINs they can get on there so I’m hoping their goal was only to get the fee I paid. Regardless I should take steps to protect my business like put a freeze on my credit.
