Starting January 1, 2024, most companies created in or registered to do business in the U.S. are required to report information on their Beneficial Owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
The Act attempts to prohibit the misuse of corporations and limited liability organizations for illegal benefit, including money laundering, fraud, financing of terrorism, and other activities. Companies are mandated to declare their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

A “company applicant” is the person who files paperwork to create a corporation, LLC, or similar entity with a state. If more than one person is involved, the company applicant is the one primarily responsible for creation or filing of first registration document.
