DO I NEED TO FILE?
• Most companies formed in the United States will be required to file.
• FinCEN has provided a helpful resource called the Small Entity Compliance Guide LINK, which can help you determine if you must file a report and who you should list as the beneficial owners.
Additionally, our questionnaire will help in that determination.
WHO ARE THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF MY COMPANY?
• Generally, a beneficial owner is any individual who, directly or indirectly, either
(1) exercises substantial control over a reporting company or
(2) owns or controls at least 25% of the ownership interests of a reporting company.
• Consult the Small Entity Compliance Guide LINK for additional guidance.
DO I NEED TO INCLUDE A COMPANY APPLICANT?
• If you are reporting on a new company formed on or after January 1, 2024, at least one company applicant should be included on the report. (BOI reports on existing companies do not require company applicants.)
• The company applicants are typically (1) the individual primarily responsible for directing or controlling the filing of the document and (2) the individual who directly files the document that creates the reporting entity.
DO I NEED AN EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (EIN)?
• The company is required to provide its IRS taxpayer identification number. For domestic companies, this must be an EIN or Social Security Number/Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (for disregarded entities in lieu of an EIN). If a foreign company does not have an IRS taxpayer identification number, the company must report a foreign tax identification number.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO GET STARTED:
• Reporting Company information: tax ID number, jurisdiction of formation, and U.S. address.
• All Company Applicant identifying information and corresponding ID images, unless FinCEN ID numbers are provided.
• All Beneficial Owner identifying information and corresponding ID images, unless FinCEN ID numbers are provided.
HOW DO I PREPARE THIS SUBMISSION?
Please fill out the intake questionnaire at this link INTAKE LINK. The initial questions will ensure the filing is needed and no exemptions apply. Please be careful to include all of the required information for the reporting entity. Note that the address listed for the company must be a physical address and cannot be the address of the registered agent unless the company has no principal place of business in the U.S. and does not conduct business functions at any location in the U.S. Please be sure to list all applicable company applicants and beneficial owners, completing all required applicable party fields.
