BOI: Things to Know
A new regulation effective from January 1st, 2024, mandates businesses, including LLCs and Corporations, to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with FinCEN (Financial Crime Enforcement). This report aims to gather details about beneficial owners who directly oversee or control a company, aiming to prevent the exploitation of shell companies for illicit purposes.
This BOI filing is required for all companies even those formed before the regulation roll out. All newly formed companies must complete the BOI within 90 days.
What is Beneficial Ownership Information rule?
The BOI rule, established through the Corporate Transparency Act of 2021, represents a significant step forward in U.S. regulatory efforts to combat financial crimes, such as money laundering, tax evasion, and other illicit activities. Passed with bipartisan support, this law aims to address longstanding concerns regarding the misuse of corporate entities, particularly shell companies, to conceal the identities of individuals behind illicit activities.
Under this legislation, companies operating in the United States are required to disclose detailed information about their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Who is a beneficial owner?
A beneficial owner is an individual who either directly or indirectly:

However, there are specific circumstances where information about an entity may be reported instead of information about a beneficial owner.
