You cannot get a merchant account unless you have have a SSN.

Obviously, opening a company will not grant you a SSN. It will be hell to simply open a bank account.

It is easy to open a company, close to impossible to actually have a business.

I own an useless LLC in Delaware, btw.

Merchant account? What kind of merchant account?

And why is your LLC useless?
