Why do I need to complete this disclosure?

Requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Rule (the "BOI Reporting") enacted in 2021 by The bipartisan Corporate Transparency Act, aims to enhance transparency and combat money laundering and other illicit activities by requiring all corporations and limited liability companies conducting business in the United States of America to disclose information about their beneficial owners.

Failure to file a required Beneficial Ownership Information Report as established by Rule of the Corporate Transparency Act can result in up to a $500.00 per day penalty.

Am I a Beneficial Owner?
 
A "beneficial owner" is an individual who meets one or more of the following criteria:
 
a) Owns 25% or more of the equity interests in the entity;
b) Exercises substantial control over the entity; or
c) Receives substantial economic benefits from the entity.
 
Is my corporation type obligated to file?
 
Under the Rule, ALL types of covered entities (Inc., LLCs, PLLCs, PCs, Ltd., PC) are required to file report information about their beneficial owners:

How long do I have to file my report?

90-day Requirement: All corporations (Inc. P.C., LLC, PLLC's, etc.) created or registered to do business in the United States must file a BOIR report within 90 calendar days of receiving actual or public notice that their company's creation or registration is effective.

January 1, 2025 DEADLINE:: All corporations (Inc. P.C., LLC, PLLC's, etc.) created or registered to do business in the United States before January 1, 2024 must file by January 1, 2025

Avoid any possible penalties by taking care of your compliance today. 

The Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Rule of the Corporate Transparency Act imposes significant obligations on corporations to disclose information about their beneficial owners. By implementing BOI Reporting, the authorities aim to enhance transparency and prevent the misuse of entities. It is imperative for entities subject to BOI Reporting to understand and comply with the filing obligations to avoid legal and reputational risks.
