🚨 Important Notice for Business Owners: The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)! Hey, hey friends and fans!🤩Let’s talk about a critical compliance update that could impact your operations. 👉🏼👉🏼The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), passed in 2021, is designed to combat illicit financial activities like money laundering and terrorism financing. It requires many U.S. businesses to report beneficial ownership information to the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Who Needs to File? Under the CTA, the following types of businesses are generally required to report ownership information:🔹 LLCs (Limited Liability Companies)🔹 Corporations (both domestic and foreign operating in the U.S.)🔹 Partnerships🔹 Other small and closely held businesses that do not fall under exemptions. Who’s Exempt? Certain businesses, like large publicly traded companies, specific regulated entities (e.g., banks, insurance companies), and nonprofit organizations, are exempt from this requirement. What Does Beneficial Ownership Mean? It refers to individuals who:1️⃣ Directly or indirectly own 25% or more of the company.2️⃣ Exercise substantial control over the business. Why It Matters The CTA aims to enhance transparency and protect the U.S. economy by ensuring businesses operate ethically. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, so it’s vital to understand your obligations. What Should You Do? ✔️ Determine if your business is required to file. ✔️Gather and review your ownership documentation. ✔️ File beneficial ownership information with FinCEN by the required deadlines. 💡 Pro Tip: Stay proactive! Compliance is not just a legal requirement but also a commitment to ethical business practices.

Hey, hey friends and fans 🤩 Always remember when you are building and living your brand that you "Don’t just build a brand. Build a vibe. That’s what people remember."🙌🏼 What in the world does this mean? Do I need to die my hair my brand color? Wear my brand colors everywhere I go? Put my logo in all my clothing? Act like a grump? Well yes and no. I choose to die my hair teal because not only is it my brand color but it means much more than that. My brand is as tropical as the island I came from (you know, Puerto Rico😉). It is the all the teal shades of the beautiful oceans that surround my beautiful island and has been my favorite color since I can remember. My first car was a Tahitian Pearl (pearlized teal) Honda Civic that I ran to the ground. lol. It's one of the calmest brighter colors that brings peace and calmness to the soul. 😍 My Brand Vibe 🌴🐠🌊It is tropical like me. Teal rules the brand with colors that have been taken from Old San Juan. Someday when you get to go - you will see my brand and remember this post. 👊🏼It is bold without being offensive. 🌈It is colorful like the island and our people - fun and loving. 🥳It is alive with happy emotions. Sometimes it has feelings of frustration when others share misinformation about marketing and branding that confuse folks without any educational background to speak on the matter. ➡️It's fonts are clean and clear so there is no confusion in what your are reading because the fonts are not legible. I want you to learn from my experiences and use them to improve your business. ⭐️It's star represents elevation. It's how high I want your business to shine! Along with the stars. It also represent that star on the flag of my beloved island. 🇵🇷 I love when I go places and folks tell me "¡me encanta tu vibe!" which means "I love your vibe!" and ask me what I do. A great brand brings up conversations on what you do so I am always marketing my business. I can't tell you how may people tell me that they remember me when they see teal and what more can you ask of a great brand? What is YOUR brand vibe? Share below and lets celebrate our brands!
