FAQ

Common questions.

What's the real cost comparison vs prior vendors?

Prior: 2 RA vendors ($1,400/yr), boutique compliance vendor ($28K/yr), cap table tool ($3K/yr), doc mgmt ($2.4K/yr), implied internal labor cost ~$12K. Total ~$47K. After: Enterprise BOS ~$18.4K, no separate vendors.

How long did migration take?

4 weeks total: 1 week scoping + entity inventory, 1 week data import (prior filings), 1 week parallel run, 1 week cutover + vendor termination.

What broke?

Two BOI updates were due during the migration window. We caught both and filed within the 30-day window.

Did employees push back?

Some attachment to old tools, but the single-pane-of-glass view + the freed time won them over fast. Within 3 months, 0 requests to revert.

How are foreign qualifications tracked?

Each subsidiary's home state + foreign-qualified states tracked as separate entries. Compliance Score reflects all.

What if they want to add an entity?

New entity onboarded in BOS via the Formation Bundle. Auto-enrolled in Compliance Subscription. Total turnaround: 5-10 days including state filing.

Does BosAI handle their compliance questions?

Yes. Most of their day-to-day "what's the deadline for X?" questions handled by BosAI without involving counsel.

What about M&A activity?

Two subsidiaries sold during the 12-month period. BOS handled the entity wind-down, final filings, and IRS notification. CFO + GC reviewed but didn't handle the mechanics.

Could a smaller company get similar results?

Yes. Pro subscription serves up to 5 entities at $199/year. The savings + time-back are proportionally similar.
