Beneficial Ownership (BOI) Reports – Do-It-Together Workshop

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at 12:00 PM

To avoid big fines, anyone with a business formed before 2024 needs to have their Beneficial Ownership Reports filing done by January 1, 2025. You can always pay someone to do it all for you, but we know that isn’t always a budget friendly option. However, DIYing something like this can also be overwhelming with the consequences of doing it wrong.

So, we’ve come up with a middle ground – the Do-It-Together Workshops where Laurie will walk attendees through the report step-by-step to ensure they’re doing it correctly, and can have the peace of mind of a legal expert guiding them through the process.
