BOIWhat it is
The Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report is the filing with FinCEN, the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, that identifies the individuals who own or control a company.
It is one of the filings that has changed most since it was announced: who must file, and by when, has been revised more than once. That is why, before filing anything, our first step is to verify whether your company is required to file today.

Frequently asked questions
Is my company required to file?
It depends on how the company is structured and on current rules, which have changed several times. We verify this before charging you for a filing you may not need.
Who qualifies as a beneficial owner?
Anyone who owns at least 25 percent of the company, or who exercises substantial control over it, even without appearing as an owner.
Is it filed every year?
No, it is not an annual filing. It is filed once and updated whenever the reported information changes.
What if I was required to file and did not?
The law provides for civil and criminal penalties. It is better to confirm your obligation than to assume it does not apply.
