Contractors want to be paid on time and by direct deposit. You want their tax details on file before the first payment. Merrow does both in one flow.
How it works
Send an invite, the contractor enters bank details and a W-9 on their phone, and you approve the first payment. Every later payment reuses the details.
In January
Merrow totals what you paid each contractor and exports a file your accountant or payroll provider can use to file 1099-NEC forms.
Apply in about 10 minutes with your EIN and a photo ID. Most companies are approved within one business day, and Essential has no monthly fee.
