Businesses Concerned Over Costs of New Federal Ownership Reporting Rule, $500/Day Fines for Late Filings

Businesses are expressing concerns over the costs associated with a new federal requirement to report their owners' identities. This Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report mandates that most companies, including corporations and LLCs, disclose their beneficial owners. Failure to comply with the reporting rule can result in fines of $500 per day for late filings. Some companies are offering to file these reports for fees ranging from $200 to $300, though the process involves filling out a form that is similar to the one available on the government website. Additionally, there is a lawsuit that some businesses view as a potential way to avoid enforcement of this requirement, despite officials maintaining that these concerns are unfounded.
