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 franchise tax reports fell due during the migration window. We caught both and filed inside the deadline.

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.

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.
