Agent Business Readiness Scan
Free self-serve
Map the organization, controller, authority, payment controls, providers, and merchant dependencies behind an agent before you connect credentials or accept orders.
Run the scan →Business infrastructure for the agentic economy
Give your agent a business identity, authority, and payment rails.
Connect a real legal entity and accountable controller to the agents that buy, sell, and operate for it.
The business identity belongs to the accountable organization. Each agent remains a software system operating for it, not a separate legal person.
Customer-controlled credentials. No private-key custody. Human and entity accountability preserved.

From entity to live commerce
Activation chain
A business stack an agent can actually operate through
Each layer depends on the one before it. A wallet or API key alone does not establish who is accountable, what the agent may do, or how access stops.

Readable to a person. Structured for a system.
An Authority Instrument names the organization, agent, permitted actions, hard limits, approval threshold, validity window, and revocation state. The customer chooses and enforces those controls in its own systems.

Boundaries and questions
What the service does and does not establish
Can an AI agent own an LLC or be its EIN responsible party?
No. EIN.LLC records an agent as a business system operated for an organization. A natural person remains the accountable controller and, under current IRS instructions, the responsible party is a person rather than an automated system, except for government-entity cases.
Does an Agent Business Passport guarantee provider approval?
No. The Passport organizes attributed evidence and creates reusable public-safe and private views. We prepare and coordinate applications, but eligibility and approval remain with each bank, payment provider, wallet, marketplace, or protocol participant.
Does EIN.LLC hold funds, keys, or payment credentials?
No. EIN.LLC does not hold customer funds, private keys, seed phrases, pooled funds, or reusable payment credentials. Execution remains in customer-controlled or provider-controlled systems with the limits and approvals chosen by the accountable controller.
What becomes public?
Only a deliberately public verification view: current state, organization and agent identifiers, broad authority class, issuer or checker, relevant dates, and a discrepancy contact. Full EINs, identity documents, addresses, ownership details, secrets, balances, keys, and confidential terms stay private.
Can authority be revoked?
Yes. An Authority Pack defines validity, expiry, suspension, replacement, and revocation. Payment activation includes a kill-switch drill so the operator can show that a previously permitted action fails after the relevant control is disabled.
Is the Passport a government credential or legal opinion?
No. Agent Business Passport and Agent Authority Pack are EIN.LLC service names. They are not government credentials, licenses, independent certifications, legal opinions, or substitutes for provider due diligence or qualified legal advice.
