Has your business filed its BOI yet? The deadline is fast approaching, so file now to avoid the risk of penalties! A New Federal Reporting Requirement for most for-profit businesses mandates Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) be submitted with FinCEN by January 1, 2025, or your business may be at risk. Join us to learn how to file your report directly with FinCEN to avoid any delay in filing. REDC Business Advisor Liz Salas is hosting two free webinars in December to help business owners understand the steps they need to take to file. Join us on either Friday, December 13th at 3 pm or Wednesday, December 18th at 10 am. Please log into a personal computer that allows you to walk through each step with us. |
