Business & Tax Identification
Fufu Planet may ask for a Business Registration Number or Tax Identification Number during onboarding. These help verify your food business, but requirements vary by region and business type. If you do not have formal numbers, you may still be able to apply with alternative verification.

Do I need to enter these numbers?
Business Registration Number: Enter this if your restaurant or food business has one. It may appear on your business registration, license, company certificate, or local business document. If you do not have one, you may leave it blank and upload another accepted verification document.
Tax Identification Number: Enter this if your country or payout provider requires one. This may be a business tax number, VAT number, GST number, EIN, or another tax ID used in your region. If you do not have one, you may leave it blank unless it is required for payouts in your area.
