Registration of Beneficial Owners

In an effort to enhance transparency and combat financial fraud, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has implemented a new regulation requiring businesses to disclose information about their beneficial owners. Beneficial owners are individuals who directly or indirectly control or own a significant interest in a legally registered business.

Registration Deadlines for Current and New Businesses

• The deadline for a business created or registered prior to January 1, 2024, is January 1, 2025.
• The deadline for new businesses created on or after January 1, 2024, is 90 calendar days after the company’s creation.

Next Steps
We encourage you to visit the FinCEN website at https://www.fincen.gov/boi to assist you in complying with this requirement.
