Beneficial Ownership Information reporting – What information is required?

Next Steps for Your Business

Is your company required to file a beneficial ownership report?

Beneficial ownership information pertains to identifying details about a reporting company, about its beneficial owners (the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control 25% or more of the “ownership interests” of the reporting company or who directly or indirectly exercise “substantial control” over the reporting company) and, in some cases, about its company applicant or applicants.

Domestic reporting companies created before January 1, 2024 and foreign (non-U.S.) reporting companies that first registered to do business in the U.S. before January 1, 2024, will have until January 1, 2025 to file their initial beneficial ownership information report.

Domestic reporting companies created on or after January 1, 2024 and before January 1, 2025 and foreign (non-U.S.) reporting companies that first registered to do business in the U.S. on or after January 1, 2024 and before January 1, 2025, will have 90 days to file their initial beneficial ownership information report. Domestic reporting companies created on or after January 1, 2025 and foreign (non-U.S.) reporting companies that first registered to do business in the U.S. on or after January 1, 2025, will have 30 days to file their initial beneficial ownership information report. This 90-day or 30-day deadline runs from the time the company receives actual notice that its creation or registration is effective, or after a secretary of state or similar office first provides public notice of its creation or registration, whichever is earlier
