FinCEN BOI Reports on Hold

A federal law called the Corporate Transparency Act effective January 1, 2024, requires almost all U.S. companies to file a FinCEN Beneficial Owner Information report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Treasury (“FinCEN“) or the company can be fined $500 a day for a late report. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on December 27, 2024, that reporting companies are not required to file FinCEN BOI reports and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force.  Reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports.

Our Silver & Gold LLC formation packages include us filing your new company’s FinCEN BOI report.

The Keyts own a company called FinCEN Filer, LLC, that files FinCEN BOI reports.  To learn more about the Corporate Transparency Act read How to Avoid the $500/Day Fine and articles and blog posts on FinCEN Filer’s website.

Client Testimonials

In forming 9,400+ Arizona LLCs we have had thousands of happy clients. A few testimonials are shown below, but here is how to access the complete list of satisfied LLC purchasers:

Mark G. Lerner - Lerner & McDonald

Editor’s Note: We have formed 17 LLCs for Mark. “As a California attorney, I have used Richard Keyt’s LLC formation services for many of my clients as well as myself over the past 7 years. Richard and his staff do an excellent job of creating high quality documentation in a very efficient manner. I have always been quite satisfied with each time that I have used Richard Keyt to form an Arizona LLC. I would strongly recommend his LLC formation services to others as well.”

Brian Campbell - Family Motor Company, LLC

I’ve been a practicing California attorney for 27 years. The service has been nothing short of fantastic. Keyt’s ability to deliver this great service for such a nominal fee including all costs is a testament to his dedication as a legal professional. Even for an attorney, the use of Keyt’s service has more than paid for itself in time saved and convenience.

Tom Carpenter - Technology Assets Service, LLC

After an extensive research of on-line providers of LLC formation services, it was clear that KEYTLaw, LLC stood above the rest. In each case with other on-line service providers, you were faced with completing some of the formation tasks on your own. In addition, as you proceeded through their process you would find additional charges to perform the tasks already included in KEYTLaw, LLC services. The services were executed as advertised and I was impressed with the speed that my company was formed and listed on the Arizona Corporate Commission web site. The Arizona LLC Operations Manual is a great resource that you won’t find elsewhere.

Jim Jensen - JMJ Fabulous Properties, LLC

I spent a lot of time on the Internet looking at scores of sites where one could set up an LLC. Some were very cheap self-service sites, many were around $100-200, and some were even over $1000. But not a single one of them could even come close to providing the depth and breadth of services and protection that Richard provides.

Dr. Andrew Archodakis - Hippocrates Physiotherapy, LLC

The professionalism and the attention that this firm pays to clients such as myself is second to none. Mr. Keyt’s and all of his staff have made forming my LLC a very pleasant experience. I decided to use his services after spending countless hours on the internet and talking to CPA’s as well as health care professionals about structuring my own practice.

Patrick J. Novotny - West Valley Nitrogen, L.L.C.

Quality. There is no other word that can accurately describe the level of performance that was performed by KEYTLaw, L.L.C. for me in forming my new Company. Hiring KEYTLaw, L.L.C. was the best decision I could have made in my new venture. I highly recommend KEYTLaw to anyone who demands a trouble free start up.
