Boi Reporting process for Chicago, IL businesses
- Confirm your entity is registered in Illinois. Most BOI reporting requirements assume an active Illinois LLC or corporation. If you're operating in Chicago but registered in another state, you may need to foreign qualify in Illinois first.

- Pay the filing fee. $0 federal + $249 our service. Boi Reporting fees can vary slightly by filing method.
- Submit to the appropriate authority. Federal services (EIN, trademark, BOI) go to IRS/USPTO/FinCEN. State services (DBA, foreign qualification, annual report) go to the Illinois Secretary of State or applicable state agency.
- Track Chicago-specific follow-on requirements. Chicago businesses often need local business licenses, sales tax permits, or occupational licenses depending on industry. We surface these in the post-filing workflow.
