Frequently Asked Questions
The Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) is a new requirement under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). It's designed to increase transparency in business ownership and help combat financial crimes.
Corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs) that qualify as reporting companies must file a BOIR. This involves reporting information about the individuals who own or control the business. Noncompliance could result in civil and criminal penalties.
You will need to provide personal details about the company's beneficial owners, including their name, address, date of birth, and an identifying number from a government-issued document like a passport or driver's license.
You must update your BOI report within 90 days of any changes, such as a new beneficial owner or a change in ownership information.
A beneficial owner is anyone who either:
- Directly or indirectly owns or controls at least 25% of the company’s ownership interests, or
- Exercises substantial control over the business.
