In this episode, Ron Parisi discusses the Corporate Transparency Act, which requires entities registered with the Secretary of State to also register with the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and report their beneficial owners. The act defines beneficial owners as individuals who own over 25% of the company or exercise substantial control within it. Ron advises business owners to review their entities and entities they created in the past to ensure compliance. He suggests waiting until spring or summer to explore potential third-party assistance and emphasizes the importance of obtaining a FinCEN identifier.
