The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is tightening regulations to improve transparency in business ownership, primarily through the implementation of Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements. These requirements are aimed at helping combat illicit financial activities by ensuring that accurate and current ownership information is available to law enforcement and other authorities. If you own 25% or more of a company or have significant control over it, it’s essential to understand how the new BOI reporting requirements apply to you, particularly if your business was established before January 1, 2024, or is a new venture launched in 2024.
