Unearthing Your UBI: A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure

The Brave Knight (Registered Online): If you valiantly filed your business formation online, then victory is at hand! Your UBI number will be proudly displayed in the confirmation email you received. It's like finding the Holy Grail... in your inbox.
