Nature of the Services and Our Relationship with You
We offer organizational and compliance Services for profit and nonprofit organizations. We are not lawyers or a law firm, accountants or an accounting firm, or investment advisors or an investment advisory firm, and we do not and will not provide you with any legal, tax, or financial advice of any nature whatsoever. We are not in any way related to or affiliated with any government agency. In all cases, Fincen Alliance is considered to be providing Services upon clearance of payment.
You should not construe anything on the Website as legal, tax, or financial advice. This Agreement in no way creates any lawyer-client, tax advisor-client, or financial advisor-client relationship between us and you. If you have questions about your particular legal, tax, or financial situation, we strongly encourage you to engage appropriate professional advisors to answer those questions before you order any Services.
We offer the following general categories of Services:
(a) Managed Services. We offer document preparation, filing, and document retrieval services to businesses and nonprofits, including but not limited to, business entity registration, tax registration and exemption filings, license applications for businesses and nonprofits, annual reports, and the retrieval of documents, records, correspondence, and forms in relation to the legal existence, licensure, and tax status of an entity or an individual. All Forms are prepared and submitted at the specific instruction of the Client, using the information provided by the Client.
(b) Registered Agent Services. We provide local offices in all fifty United States, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico for the specific purpose of serving as a registered agent (aka resident agent, statutory agent, service of process agent, or Commercial Registered Office Provider) for legal entities. By purchasing registered agent Service, you understand, agree to, and accept the specific purpose and use of a registered agent, which is to be appointed and maintained by a legal entity according to local statutory requirements. The registered agent is generally responsible for maintaining a physical location during regular business hours, receiving legal and government notice on behalf of the represented entity, and delivering documents securely to the entity.
Fincen Alliance's registered agent services are limited to the receipt and forwarding of items covered under the state statutes. When receiving process on behalf of the client, Fincen Alliance shall in no event be held responsible for any part of the lawsuit or claim. Client agrees to indemnify Fincen Alliance for all claims brought in these processes.
(b)(i) Information We Collect to Provide Registered Agent Services. In the event you order registered agent services, you will be responsible to provide us with (a) the full and accurate legal name of the entity, (b) the full and accurate fictitious names that the entity does business under in the jurisdiction in which you order registered agent services on behalf of the entity, (c) prompt notice of any changes to the name of the entity or the fictitious names, (d) all relevant contact information for the person or persons to which you would like us to send service of process, documents, notices, or communications that we receive and that are addressed to any entity or fictitious name that you provide us with, and (e) any additional information as required by federal, state, or local law. Local offices and operations may be provided through an Affiliate. By purchasing registered agent service, you consent to information about you and your legal entity to be shared with an Affiliate, insofar as necessary to provide Service.
(b)(ii) Non-transferability of Registered Agent Service. By entering into this Agreement, you agree that you will not provide or allow anyone else to provide our address to any third-party for any reason, with the exception of providing the address to the government agency (typically the department of state) in each jurisdiction in which you have engaged us to act as a registered agent. Under no circumstances will we be required to forward mail, payments, solicitations, shipments, or other communications we receive as a result of our address being provided to a third-party other than the proper government agency. Separate units of registered agent service must be purchased for each legal entity to be represented in each state where Service is requested. Service may not be transferred or shared between multiple legal entities or from one state to another, with written approval by Fincen Alliance.
(c) Software. We provide “Software as a Service” (SaaS) in addition to software to support our Managed Services and Registered Agent Service. By using our Software, which is part of our Website, you agree to these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy in all aspects. You are responsible for updating Fincen Alliance with any changes to your entity’s legal name, “good standing” status, and your contact information, and ensuring that our communications generally reach you.

Information We Collect to Provide Service
We collect information on you and your business through various methods, including but not limited to online submission forms, questionnaires and Information Request Forms, and email correspondence with Fincen Alliance employees. These methods, along with any document forms which we have drafted, or which were drafted on our behalf by a third-party engaged by us, that we in turn provide to you for use or that we use on your behalf in providing Services are referred to herein as “Forms and/or Applications.”
By entering into this Agreement, you authorize us to (a) use, distribute, reproduce, modify, publish, and translate the information you provide us with (whether personal in nature or otherwise) as needed to provide the Services that you order, (b) use your electronic signature to submit filings to government agencies and other authorities on your behalf, and (c) communicate with government agencies and other authorities concerning filings that we make on your behalf.
If you order certain types of Services, we may refer you to an independent contractor to provide you with those Services. If you do work with an independent contractor that we refer you to, the terms and conditions in this paragraph will apply. Under no circumstances will we ask or instruct any independent contractor to provide you with legal, tax, or financial advice. Similarly, you agree you will not ask any independent contractor that we refer you to for any legal, tax, or financial advice that relates to or is otherwise connected with the Services. If for any reason you do ask an independent contractor that we have referred you to for legal, tax, or financial advice and the independent contractor provides such advice, then (a) any such advice will be solely at your request, and (b) any lawyer-client, tax advisor-client, or financial advisor-client relationship that results between you and the independent contractor will exclude us. Moreover, regardless of the nature of the Services or advice that an independent contractor that we refer you to provides you with, we will not verify the accuracy or correctness of any Services or advice that the independent contractor provides to you and we will not be in any way responsible or liable for any error or omission of the independent contractor. However, nothing in this Agreement in any way prevents you from filing a claim directly against an independent contractor that we refer you to in the event the independent contractor commits an error or omission. If you work with an independent contractor that we refer you to, that independent contractor may or may not have agreements, terms and conditions, and contractual provisions that it will require you to agree to.

No Class Actions
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT OR AUTHORITY TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR ARBITRATION FILED AGAINST OR INVOLVING US.
Arbitration
(a) What is Arbitration? “Arbitration” is a dispute resolution process that is less formal than a traditional court proceeding, is guided by a neutral arbitrator as opposed to a judge or jury, and allows for limited factual discovery as compared to a court proceeding. Typically, arbitration awards are subject to very limited review by courts.
(b) The Arbitration Agreement. By entering into this Agreement, you are expressly agreeing that any dispute or conflict of any nature that arises between you and us will be resolved in binding arbitration. AS A RESULT OF ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE FOREVER WAIVING (I) YOUR RIGHT OR AUTHORITY TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR ARBITRATION FILED AGAINST US, AND (II) YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE AGAINST US DECIDED BY A JURY.
(c) Initiating Arbitration Against Us. If you have a claim against us, you may initiate arbitration against us by sending a written notice addressed as follows:
Fincen Alliance
Attn – Arbitration Notice
3636 SW 87 Ave
Miami, FL 33165
However, such notice will only be effective if it (i) is sent by certified mail, (ii) includes a description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (iii) specifies the relief (whether monetary or otherwise) that you are seeking from us, i.e. your “Demand,” and the dollar value of such relief if you are seeking monetary relief.
(d) Arbitration Fees and Process. Regardless of the value of your Demand, we will equally split with you the initial arbitration filing fee for any arbitration you initiate, subject to the provisions set forth herein regarding reimbursement. For any arbitration that we initiate against you, we will pay the entire initial arbitration filing fee and will not be entitled to any reimbursement from you regardless of the outcome of the arbitration.
Any arbitration under this Agreement will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) by a single arbitrator who is appointed in accordance with the Rules. You may obtain a copy of the Rules at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
To the extent the Rules allow, you will have the choice to have the arbitrator decide your claim (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (ii) after a hearing conducted by telephone, or (iii) after a live, in-person hearing is conducted. After you have chosen how the arbitrator will decide your claim, and assuming you have elected to have the arbitrator decide your claim after either a telephone or live, in-person hearing, we will have the option to participate solely by submitting documents or by telephone and we will promptly notify the arbitrator of our choice in that regard. If you or both you and we have indicated a preference for or the Rules otherwise require a live, in-person hearing, the arbitrator will determine the location at which the arbitration hearing will take place per the following guidelines: (i) if you have requested or the Rules require a live, in-person hearing but the Rules allow us to and we have indicated we will participate by submitting documents or by telephone, then the arbitrator will conduct the arbitration hearing at a specific location of his choice in the county (or parish) where you are domiciled; (ii) if you have requested a live, in-person hearing and the Rules require us or we have indicated we will attend the hearing, then the arbitrator will conduct the arbitration hearing at a specific location of his choice in Broward County, Florida.
If the arbitrator does not award you your full Demand, then we will not be responsible for reimbursing you for arbitration filing fees and the arbitrator will allocate his fees as he deems appropriate, taking into consideration the Rules and the outcome of the arbitration. If, however, an arbitrator awards you your full Demand, then (i) we will reimburse you for the arbitration filing fee you paid, and (ii) the arbitrator may order us to pay some or all of his fees if he deems it appropriate to do so because the value of your Demand is very low relative to the share of the arbitrator’s fees you would otherwise have to pay.
(e) Governing Law and Arbitrator Jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of all arbitration provisions in this Agreement. Any arbitrator selected under the Rules to administer an arbitration under this Agreement will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provisions in this Agreement.
Termination of Our Relationship with You
We may refuse to provide Services or enter into a relationship with anyone at any time, including you. If we enter into a relationship with you, we may terminate that relationship at any time if (a) you fail to pay an invoice for Services in a timely fashion, (b) you fail to honor your obligations under this Agreement, (c) you make any attempt to or do in fact use the Website or the Services in any way that could damage or impair our networks or servers, (d) you make any attempt to or do in fact gain unauthorized access to the secure login or otherwise misuse the Website in any way, (e) we learn or suspect that you are attempting to or have used the Website, any of the Services, or any of the Forms to further an unlawful objective, (f) we learn or suspect an unauthorized user is using your account with us, (g) we choose to do so for any reason or no reason at all, or (h) if the other Party seeks protection or commences any action under applicable bankruptcy laws or similar laws regarding insolvency or relief for debtor. If we terminate our relationship with you, we will promptly refund the amounts you paid for the Services minus compensation for any Services we have performed prior to your cancellation, any filing fees we paid on your behalf in performing those Services, and a reasonable processing fee. Fincen Alliance may terminate this Agreement at any time if legally required or upon belief of Client’s illegal or improper use of the Services.
Effect of Termination. In the event of any such termination, (i) Client will pay Fincen Alliance for (a) Services provided under this Agreement to Client up through the date of termination and (b) Services that Fincen Alliance is legally required to provide to Client following termination, (ii) with respect to Registered Agent Services, Client shall also pay all fees in connection with the removal of our local registered agent information from the records of applicable government agencies, and (iii) all rights (including any access and use rights and licenses) granted to Client by Fincen Alliance under this Agreement related to the terminated Services shall be terminated.
Billing and Cancellation of Registered Agent Services. Registered agent service is billed on an annual basis, unless you have negotiated a longer subscription term. We provide electronic notices of renewals and secure online payment of invoices, and typically provide notice of 90 days prior to the invoice due date. Generally, the appointment and maintenance of a registered agent is required by statute. As long as our local office information is listed on public records, we are considered to be providing Service. To cancel your registered agent service, prior to the due date of your invoice, you must show us that you have (a) changed your registered agent with the state, (b) have dissolved or withdrawn your business, or (c) that we are not listed on public records for some other reason. If you wish to cancel after the due date of an invoice, our information must not be listed on state records, and you may be subject to paying outstanding invoices and applicable late fees.
Injunctive Relief
In the event you breach or threaten to breach this Agreement, the damage or imminent damage to our value and goodwill cannot be calculated, and therefore any remedy at law or in damages shall be inadequate. Accordingly, you agree that we are entitled to injunctive relief against you in the event of a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any other relief available to us.

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is a federal law enacted in 2021 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. Its primary goal is to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit financial activities by promoting transparency within corporate structures.
The CTA requires entities to report the individuals with ownership and controlling stake to the federal government. This involves submitting beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and notifying the agency of any changes to the information as they occur.
The reporting requirement of the CTA is effective on January 1, 2024. FinCEN will begin accepting beneficial ownership information reports on that date.
Key details required include the entity’s name, any trade or DBA names, state of formation, federal EIN, ID number from its domicile Secretary of State, the entity’s primary address within the US, full legal name of each beneficial owner, unique identifying number from an acceptable identification document, and more.
Beneficial owners have substantial control over or receive substantial economic benefits from a legal entity.
While the CTA broadly applies to corporations and LLCs, specific exemptions exist. More heavily regulated entities such as banks, credit unions, investment companies, and entities already required to report certain information to the federal government are exempt from the CTA's reporting requirements. Read our guide, Everything You Need to Know About the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) for a full list of exemptions.
Failure to comply with the CTA can result in significant penalties. These may include fines of $500 per day, up to $10,000, or even criminal charges.
For legitimate businesses, beneficial ownership reporting promotes a more transparent and trustworthy business climate. It helps prevent unfair competition from entities engaging in illicit activities, creating a more level playing field for all businesses.
Businesses can prepare by conducting an internal review of their company's structure and ownership hierarchy, collecting necessary documentation for each beneficial owner, establishing a centralized record-keeping system, ensuring regular updates, and training staff members for ongoing compliance.
Our BOI reporting service completes the initial filing and supports updating your information going forward. Order BOI Reporting Service to ensure your initial BOI filing, updates, and changes are managed as needed.
