A Personal Note: Why I Built Bridge to BOI

By Bryant Oberg

Sometimes the best solutions come from our own frustrations. Let me share a story that might sound familiar to many business owners.

The Unexpected Challenge

Just over a year ago, I launched White Knight Advisory, a financial restructuring business. With years of experience in finance and hedge funds, I thought I knew what I was getting into. After all, I'd spent my career navigating complex financial landscapes.

But here's what I didn't expect: the sheer complexity of compliance requirements nearly overwhelmed me before I could even get my business off the ground.

A Gap in the Market

As I dug deeper into compliance requirements, something became crystal clear: there was a massive gap between:

• What business owners need (simple, accessible compliance solutions)

• What was actually available (complex, often overwhelming systems)

And I wasn't alone in this struggle.

A Simple Truth

Through this experience, I developed a straightforward theory:

No one likes compliance, but we all want to be compliant.

It's that simple. Business owners don't wake up excited about filing requirements or regulatory deadlines. But we all want to run legitimate, compliant operations that stay on the right side of the law.

Building the Bridge

That's where Bridge to BOI comes in. Sometimes, all we need is a bridge – a clear path from where we are to where we need to be. We're here to be that bridge for other business owners navigating the Corporate Transparency Act and related compliance requirements.
