Know the BOI rule (and avoid the scams)

Stage 1: Lay the foundation. Step 6 of 24 in the new LLC launch playbook. You may hear that new LLCs must file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with FinCEN. That changed. Key points: - Under a final rule FinCEN announced in August 2026, U.S. companies and U.S. persons no longer have to file BOI reports. - Companies formed outside the U.S. and registered to do business here may still have to file. - Ignore letters or emails that demand a fee to file a BOI report for your U.S. LLC. Cost: Free. Check: FinCEN.gov/boi.
