It is simple to get a Federal Taxpayer ID number. I think it lets the
IRS know that funds the agency disburses to that account are responsible
for all the taxes. I used that a couple of years ago when I
sub-contracted to a business that had the contract to do some
documentation for yet another company.

I did not need a company name in that instance.
