Other news: Small Business New Filing Requirement
Is your business operating as a limited liability company (LLC)? Take note, there’s a new federal rule requiring most small businesses to file with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). LLCs and other businesses must report information about their beneficial owners — the persons who ultimately own or control the company. You don’t need an attorney or an accountant to complete the form, and there is no filing fee. Find the instructions and FAQs on the FinCEN website. Companies that were created before 2024 have until the end of this year to file. Those created in 2024 have 90 days after their incorporation to file. Companies established in 2025 (and thereafter) will have 30 days to register. The new rules are intended to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, organized crime, and other financial crimes.

The 2023 law, Senate Bill 190, prohibited…
