UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host BOIR Webinar Dec. 9

Small-business owners will have an opportunity to learn how to prepare and submit their Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) paperwork Monday, Dec. 9.

Kenny Overby, P.J. Burns and Devan Costa-Cargill will lead a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network webinar titled "Complete Your BOIR Paperwork With the Wyoming SBDC Network" from noon-1 p.m. To register, go here. Registration is free.

The Wyoming SBDC Network offers business expertise to help Wyoming residents think about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business. The Wyoming SBDC Network is hosted by the University of Wyoming with state funds from the Wyoming Business Council and funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The webinar is designed to have clients leave with their BOIR submitted. The purpose of a BOIR is to prevent money laundering and other financial crimes by requiring companies to provide identifying information about their beneficial owners. Attendees are asked to bring copies of their government IDs for each owner of their companies as well as their EINs (employee identification numbers).

Before coming to UW, he spent two years with the Colorado SBDC Network and brings experience in growing from startup to multiple locations, marketing and employee management.

Costa-Cargill is the Wyoming SBDC Network regional director for Big Horn, Hot Springs, Park and Washakie counties.
