I just finished our EIN application. The application was fairly straight-forward, but we had to decide on a couple of things before before we could submit the application (such as fiscal year and if we wanted to file as a corporation or partnership).
You need an EIN to be able to hire people and to open a bank account.
Then you can fill out the application on IRS homepage.
I’d recommend that you read Understanding EIN before you apply.
