From Little Rock to the Ozarks, Arkansas is a state of abundant natural beauty. It’s no wonder they call it “The Natural State.” It’s home to mountains, caves, rivers, hot springs, and maybe even your next hire. In this era of remote work, your next employee could be from anywhere, including the beautiful state of Arkansas.Bringing on a new employee can be exciting, but there’s often a lot to do as well. You want to onboard your new hire as quickly and smoothly as possible to ensure their success at your organization. But before you get started with onboarding, you’ll need to register your company with the state of Arkansas. Fortunately, registering your business in Arkansas is easy.

  2. Once you have your taxpayer ID you can sign up for an account from the Arkansas Taxpayer Access Point homepage.
  3. You’ll also need to register with the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services so that you can pay unemployment taxes. On the far left-hand side of the webpage, you can click "Register for DWS Employer Account." The application should take about 5 minutes to complete and you’ll get a confirmation via email right away.
