Corporate Transparency Act

New Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires most Corporations and LLC's to report Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) to the Federal Government.

Effective Jan 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires many businesses to now file detailed information about their beneficial owners with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau within the U.S. Department of Treasury. Compliance with the CTA is essential to maintain legal standing and avoid substantial penalties.

At API Processing, we simplify the CTA filing process, ensuring your business meets all requirements accurately and efficiently. Partner with API Processing for seamless CTA compliance and peace of mind.
