Understanding Beneficial Ownership Reporting

Key Takeaways:

1. Beneficial ownership interest reporting is a compliance requirement under the Corporate Transparency Act to increase visibility into business ownership.

2. Most small to medium-sized businesses, especially limited liability companies and C corporations with fewer than 25 employees, are obligated to report their beneficial ownership interests.

3. The filing process involves providing basic information and supporting documentation to prove identity.

4. Existing businesses have until January 1, 2025, to complete the initial report, while new entities have 90 days from the date of setup.

5. Changes in ownership or contact information must be reported within 30 days.
