What is the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)?

Starting from January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires numerous small business owners across the United States to submit detailed reports.

The purpose of the Corporate Transparency Act is to aid in the prevention and investigation of financial crimes by gaining a clearer understanding of the ownership and control structures of companies within the US.

Am I required to comply with the CTA?

Yes, adherence to the Corporate Transparency Act is critical to avoid serious legal repercussions, including hefty fines and possible jail time.

What is the BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) Report?

The Beneficial Ownership Information Report is a federally mandated document that collects specific personal details about your company.

It encompasses general company details along with the names, addresses, and photo IDs of individuals who either own a minimum of 25% of the business or have significant control over it.

Submitting a BOI report ensures your compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act.
