FinCEN BOI Reporting

Business Reporting Mandate Effective January 1, 2024


As a result of the enactment of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), many businesses will be required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR). Basic questions about this mandate are answered below.


(Not required for United States domestic entities as of March 26, 2025)


  • Do I need to file?

    The filing of the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) is required when an entity has one or more individuals who, directly or indirectly, own or substantially control at least 25% and the entity is structured as one of the following:

     • Limited liability company (including single-member LLC)

     • Limited liability partnership

     • Limited partnership

     • General partnership

     • S-Corporation

     • C-Corporation

     • Business trust 


  • When do I need to file?

    Applicable entities created or registered with the Secretary of State prior to January 1, 2024 must file their initial BOIR before January 1, 2025.


    Entities formed after January 1, 2024 must file their initial BOIR within 30 days of receipt of their Secretary of State registration notice or within 30 days of public notice by the Secretary of State, whichever is earlier.


  • What info do I need to file?

    If the above criteria apply to your business, then you will need to file the BOIR or have it filed on your behalf. The BOIR must list the following information for each individual described above:

     • Name

     • Date of birth

     • Address

     • A unique identifying number such as a driver’s license, passport, etc. with an image of such document.


  • How do I file?

    The BOIR must be filed electronically through the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) at https://www.fincen.gov/boi. Failure to file the BOIR, when you are required to do so, may result in severe civil or criminal penalties.


  • Is my information secure?

    FinCEN provides these assurances regarding the BOI Registry: 

     • NOT accessible to the public.

     • NOT considered public records.

     • NOT subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or requests by the public under the Corporate Transparency Act.

  • Can you file for me?

    We provide website links on this page to help you navigate and file the BOIR on your own. However, if you have a simple business entity structure and you would like us to file the BOIR on your behalf, then we will do so for a filing fee of $175.


  • What if my business is no longer operating?

    If your applicable business entity is active or inactive and you do not plan to operate it after December 31, 2023, then you can complete an official dissolution with the Secretary of State where the business is registered.
