Beneficial Ownership Information

For those of you who are somewhat new to owning a company (like me), it’s important to note that there’s an important new form to fill out. This form is a key part of the beneficial ownership reporting process for your company.

The deadlines work like this:

  1. Existing Entities (Pre-2024): Companies that were created or registered before January 1, 2024, must file their initial BOI reports by January 1, 2025.
  2. New Entities (2024): Companies formed or registered in 2024 must submit their BOI reports within 90 days of receiving notice of their creation or registration.
  3. Future Entities (Post-2024): Entities created on or after January 1, 2025, will have 30 days from receiving notice of their creation or registration to file their BOI reports​ .

Failure to do so carries a heavy penalty: a person who willfully violates the BOI reporting requirements may be subject to civil penalties of up to $500 for each day that the violation continues.

Please read more about it here: https://www.fincen.gov/boi-faqs (it will take you to a government website).

Hopefully, this helps other people who do not know about this yet. Good luck!
