– Reporting companies are mainly corporations, limited liability companies, or other similar entities formed by filing a document with the Secretary of State.
– Beneficial owners are individuals who exercise substantial control or own or control at least 25% of the ownership interest in the reporting company. Trusts can be beneficial owners if they meet these criteria.
– Company applicants are individuals who file documents with the secretary of state to form the reporting company.
– Trusts are exempt from being reporting companies unless they are formed by filing a document with the Secretary of State.
– Reporting companies created before January 1, 2024, have until January 1, 2025, to file their initial report, while those created after January 1, 2024, must file within 30 days of forming the company. Non-compliance may result in fines and criminal penalties.
