  • What Every Small Business Owner Needs to Know

    • Learn how the Corporate Transparency Act will directly impact your business structure, and which businesses are exempt.

  • The Consequences of Non-Compliance

    • The potential penalties for non-compliance are huge, including a daily fine of $500 and the possibility of a two-year prison term.

  • What You'll Need to Disclosure

    • Understand what personal information you'll be asked to provide and why, including home addresses, social security numbers, and dates of birth.

  • Business Owner Information (BOI) Form Details

    • Instructions and explanations to properly fill out the intricate Business Owner Information (BOI) form to avoid costly mistakes and delays.
