Still wondering whether your business has a beneficial ownership filing obligation? A final rule issued by FinCEN in August settles it:
✅ U.S. companies and U.S. persons are permanently exempt from reporting beneficial ownership information
✅ The exemptions in place since March 2025 are now permanent rather than interim
✅ Previously reported information belonging to U.S. persons will be deleted from the database
If your ownership structure includes foreign entities or non-U.S. owners, it's worth a closer look.
