It may not be “fun” to talk about, but proper estate planning can really help bring peace of mind, and it doesn’t have to break the bank.

Estate planning isn’t just about assets, it’s about impact.
This month, we’re celebrating the power of planning ahead and how your legacy can continue to uplift Sandusky County for generations to come. 🌳

Finally, some good news. Fincen will no longer require U.S. based small businesses to file BOI (Beneficial Owner Information) reports.

FinCEN has prepared the following Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) in response to inquiries received relating to the Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Rule and Beneficial Ownership Information Access and Safeguards Rule.

02/19/2025

For any of you out there who are subject to the Beneficial Owner Information (BOI) filing requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) - and this would be most LLC's, corporations, or similar entities - the deadline for most entities to file has been recently (as of 2/19/2025) extended until March 21, 2025. If your entity was formed after Jan. 1, 2025, a 30-day filing rule applies.

If you have not already filed the appropriate BOI information at fincen.gov, please talk to your attorney or other business advisors about doing this. The filing process is free, by the way.

Fremont, Ohio: The Sandusky County Communities Foundation (SCCF) announced today that Andrea Gibson has been hired as their new Executive Director. A recognized professional and leader, Andrea Gibson will assume responsibilities on April 5, 2023, succeeding Laurie Young who is retiring from the Foundation after 6 years of service.
