Northwest Missouri Enterprise Facilitation (NWMEF) urges business owners to be aware of upcoming filing requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act. Many small businesses are now required to report beneficial ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN), with a critical deadline approaching. Failing to file on time could lead to penalties, so it’s essential to check if this requirement applies to your business.

In addition to promoting compliance, NWMEF emphasizes the vital role small businesses play in our community – providing jobs, services, and fostering local economic growth. “Small businesses are the heart of our community, and we’re here to support them every step of the way,” says Adam Summers, NWMEF Facilitator. “Whether a business needs help with regulatory requirements, starting up, or expanding, NWMEF is committed to offering guidance and resources to ensure their success.”

To determine if your business needs to file, visit the official FINCEN filing site at https://boiefiling.fincen.gov/. For assistance with the filing process or any other business needs, reach out to Adam Summers at facilitator@nwmef.org or call 816-262-9400.
