Most businesses require some form of licenses or permits to operate, and those requirements vary depending on the business activity and its industry as well as the city and state.
A registered agent (RA) acts as the state's means to communicate with a corporation or LLC. A Registered Agent will accept legal and official documents on behalf of a small business, organize the paperwork, and pass it along to the business owner.
Our registered agent service provides you with a physical address that is always available to accept important legal documents, so you won't need to worry about missing important paperwork when you're not at your place of business.
In 2021, Congress enacted the bipartisan Corporate Transparency Act to curb illicit finance. This law requires many companies doing business in the United States to report information about who ultimately owns or controls them.
Effective January 1, 2024, many companies in the United States must report information about their beneficial owners - the individuals who ultimately own or control the company - to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of Treasury
Filing is simple and secure. Beneficial ownership information reporting is not an annual requirement. Unless a company needs to update or correct information, a report only needs to be submitted once.
Your company may need to report information about its beneficial owners it it is:
1. a corporation, a limited liablity company (LLC), or was otherwise created in the United States by filing a document with a secretary of state or any similar office under the law of a state or Indian tribe: or
2. a foreign company and was registered to do business in any U.S. state or Indian tribe by such a filing.
When Do I Report?
FinCEN began accepting reports on January 1, 2024.
•If your company was created or registered prior to January 1, 2024, you will have until January 1, 2025 to report BOI.
•If your company is created or registered in 2024, you must report BOI within 90 calendar days after receiving actual or public notice that your company’s creation or registration is effective, whichever is earlier.
•If your company is created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, you must file BOI within 30 calendar days after receiving actual or public notice that its creation or registration is effective.
•Any updates or corrections to beneficial ownership information that you previously filed with FinCEN must be submitted within 30 days.
