Who is required to file a BOI report?

Companies that meet the definition of a "reporting company" are required to file a BOI report. Reporting companies include domestic and foreign entities registered to do business within a jurisdiction. Domestic reporting companies encompass corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and other entities created by filing a document with a state or tribal filing office. Certain entities, such as large operating companies, banks, and governmental authorities, may be exempt from this requirement. The goal is to ensure that businesses disclose their beneficial owners to prevent misuse for illicit activities. Additionally, understanding whether your business qualifies as a reporting company is critical for compliance. Regularly reviewing your company’s status and consulting with legal experts can help ensure that you meet all necessary reporting obligations and avoid potential penalties.
