Step 1. Select Your Legal Structure

File BOI Report For An LLC

A Limited Liability Company or LLC, is a business structure allowed by the state that provides personal asset protection. An LLC can have a single owner or multiple members.

File BOI Report For Corporation

A Corporation (also called a C-corporation) is a legal entity owned by shareholders. A corporation can be for-profit or nonprofit. Almost all large companies are corporations.

File BOI Non-Exempt Nonprofit

Nonprofit Organizations are generally not engaged in for-profit activities and can apply for tax-exempt status. This includes religious groups, social clubs and sports leagues.

File BOI Report (All Others)

All other business structures including LLP's, Partnerships and other reporting entity types registered to conduct business in the US, foreign and domestic.

Register a new Business, or change your business structure to a Sole Proprietorship (DBA), Limited Liability Company (LLC), Corporation (INC), Partnership, or Nonprofit.

What is the Corporate Transparency Act?

The Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”), was enacted by Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. The CTA includes significant reforms to anti-money laundering laws and is intended to help prevent and combat money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption, and tax fraud.

The CTA establishes a beneficial ownership reporting requirement for corporations, limited liability companies, and other similar entities formed or registered to do business in the United States. Beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports must be filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau within the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Who is a beneficial owner of a reporting company??

A beneficial owner is any individual (1) who directly or indirectly exercises “substantial control” over the reporting company, or (2) who directly or indirectly owns or controls 25 percent or more of the “ownership interests” of the reporting company. An individual can exercise “substantial control” over a reporting company if they direct, determine, or exercise substantial influence over important decisions the reporting company makes. This includes senior officers in the reporting company or individuals who have authority over the appointment or removal of senior officers or a majority of the board.

Who is the company applicant?

The company applicant is the individual who directly submits the document that creates the entity, and/or the individual that is primarily responsible for directing or controlling the submission of the relevant document by another. If only one person was involved in submitting the document to create or register the business, then only one person qualifies as the company applicant. No reporting company may have more than two (2) company applicants.
If NFS US filed your original formation documents, you will be provided with the 12 digit FinCEN ID number of the employee who filed your paperwork for use in the company applicant section of the BOI Report. The person who directed the filing is also a company applicant.
Only reporting companies created or registered to do business in the U.S. on or after January 1, 2024, must report company applicant information.

What if my business information changes?

If the information from your initial BOI Report changes, the updates must be submitted to FinCEN within 30 days of becoming aware of the change. Updates include any change to the information reported for the reporting company, any change in beneficial owners, or the information reported for a beneficial owner such as their name, address or unique identifying number provided in a BOI report.
