BOI Reporting: What it is and How Fine Point Consulting Makes it Easy for You

As we approach the new year, businesses are facing a significant new compliance requirement: Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting. The deadline for submitting this information is January 1, 2025, and it's crucial that you understand what it is, why it matters, and how Fine Point Consulting can help you navigate the process with ease.

What Is BOI Reporting?

Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI)reporting is a requirement set forth by the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which was passed by Congress in 2021. The goal of BOI reporting is to create a clearer picture of who actually owns and controls businesses, especially small companies and LLCs, in order to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities.

Under this law, most businesses in the U.S. are required to disclose their beneficial owners—the individuals who ultimately own or control a company. This includes owners with at least 25%ownership or those who exercise significant control over the entity. These individuals must provide personal details like names, addresses, dates of birth, and other identifying information.

While this new requirement may seem overwhelming, it’s important to understand that BOI reporting is a one-time filing for most businesses, but it must be done by the deadline to avoid penalties.

Why Some States Are Trying to Overturn the BOI Requirement

While the BOI reporting requirement is a federal mandate, some states have attempted to block or delay it. For example, a recent Texas district court ruling struck down the requirement for certain state-registered entities (like LLCs) to disclose their beneficial owners. However, despite these challenges at the state level, the Corporate Transparency Act remains in effect nationwide.

This means that, regardless of any state-level legal battles, businesses across the country are still required to comply with the BOI reporting requirements. It's crucial that your business stays in compliance to avoid penalties, which could include fines and restrictions on doing business.
