Extract data from beneficial ownership (BOI) filings

A beneficial ownership information report tells the government who really owns and controls a company, and in the United States it is filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the Corporate Transparency Act. A reporting company discloses its own identity and then lists each beneficial owner, the individuals who own at least 25 percent of it or who exercise substantial control, with each person's legal name, date of birth, address, and a government identification number. A corporate services team, a compliance officer, and outside counsel administering entities all read the same filing to confirm who is on record. When Cascade Holdings LLC (EIN 87-6543210), organized in Delaware, files an initial report on 2026-02-10 naming two beneficial owners and certified by Priya Nandakumar on 2026-02-14, that filing is the record FinCEN holds on who stands behind the entity. What has to hold together is the set of ownership interests. Each disclosed owner carries an ownership percentage and an interest type, and the reporting threshold means only owners at or above 25 percent, or those with substantial control, are listed, so the disclosed percentages need not sum to 100. For Cascade Holdings LLC, Raymond Beck (born 1975-06-12) holds a 55 percent direct interest with authority to control, and Diane Okafor (born 1982-09-30) holds a 30 percent indirect interest, together accounting for 85 percent, with the remaining 15 percent held below the reporting threshold. Beyond the owners, the filing carries the certifying officer, the filing type such as initial, updated, or corrected, and the rule that a change in ownership is reported to FinCEN in a fresh filing within 30 days rather than on an annual cycle. Talonic reads the BOI filing and returns the reporting entity, the certifying officer, and each beneficial owner with their identifiers, ownership percentage, and control status as typed fields, with the ownership interests kept per owner. An initial report for a Delaware entity naming two beneficial owners at 55 and 30 percent loads into an entity-management system instead of a retyped form, so a compliance team maintains the ownership record from structured data. This extraction structures what the filing states and does not provide legal or filing advice.

What gets extracted from beneficial ownership (BOI) filings

How extraction works for beneficial ownership (BOI) filings

BOI filings are produced through FinCEN's filing system, through corporate-services platforms, and as PDFs kept for the entity file, so the presentation of the owner records differs from one provider to the next. Talonic classifies the filing and maps it to the ownership-disclosure schema in the Field Registry, which separates the reporting entity, the certifying officer, and the beneficial owners, and keeps each owner as its own record. Ownership percentages are typed as numbers and each owner keeps its interest type, direct or indirect, and its authority-to-control flag, so the disclosed interests can be read per owner against the 25 percent reporting threshold. Its EIN and jurisdiction of formation are captured for the reporting entity, the filing type, initial, updated, or corrected, is read as its own field, and the filing and certification dates are parsed to ISO 8601. Identification type and number for each owner are held where the filing states them. Every value returns with a confidence score and a pixel-region pointer under DIN SPEC 91491, so a compliance analyst can verify an owner's percentage or identification against the source filing. Overall, the extraction structures what the filing reports and does not advise on Corporate Transparency Act obligations.
