If you own or manage a business, it's time to mark your calendars for an important compliance deadline: the submission of your Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report to FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), a division of the U.S. Department of Treasury. 

The reporting requirements, mandated by the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), aim to prevent financial crimes like money laundering, tax evasion, and fraud. The CTA seeks to improve transparency about who owns and operates entities based in the United States. 

In anticipation of the upcoming holidays, we'd like to take a moment to share our holiday hours with you. 

On Friday, December 23rd, we will be closing at 2pm EST.

We will be closed on Monday, December 26th in observance of Christmas Day and Monday, January 2nd in observance of New Year's Day. 

As a reminder, the 2021 Delaware LLC Franchise Tax due date is approaching.

To avoid penalty and interest, the tax must be paid by June 1, 2022.

Franchise taxes are assessed annually on every LLC entity registered in Delaware, regardless of level of business activity. Franchise tax for LLCs is a flat rate of $300 that must be paid by June 1st every year. You can learn more about why it's called a franchise tax here.

As the year comes to a close, we'd like to take a moment to share our holiday hours for the coming week. 

The Incorporators Ltd. will be closed on the following dates:

• December 24th (Christmas Holiday observed)
• December 31st (New Years observed)

We wish you and your family a happy and healthy holiday and we look forward to working with you in the New Year. 

The Incorporators Ltd. is pleased to announce that we've moved to a new office space.

Our new larger space will accommodate our growing team so that we can continue to provide you with the unparalleled client service you've come to expect from us.

Delaware law requires that all Delaware corporations file an annual report and pay any taxes and fees by March 1st of each year. Corporations who do not complete these steps risk having their charter voided for failure to comply.

By now all active Delaware corporations should have received a notification by letter, which included instructions for electronic filing of the annual report and payment of taxes due. 

The Incorporators Ltd. will be closed on December 24th and 25th in celebration of the Christmas holiday. We will also be closed on January 1st for New Year's Day. All orders placed during these holidays will be processed on the next business day. 

We would also like to remind you that if you need to close your business before year end, we will stop taking cancellation and dissolution orders on December 28th to ensure we can process them in time. 

The Incorporators will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day. We are grateful to our veterans for their service and keep them in our hearts today and every day. 

All orders placed on Wednesday will be fulfilled on Thursday morning.

The state of Delaware offices, including the Division of Corporations, will be closed on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 in observance of Election Day.

The Incorporators Ltd. will also be closed, as we follow the state schedule for holiday closures. Any orders received on Tuesday will be processed Wednesday morning.

We look forward to participating in the democratic process and encourage you to do the same. 

The Incorporators Ltd. will be closed on Monday, September 7th in honor of Labor Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, September 8th at 9am EST. Any orders placed on September 7th will be processed the next business day.
