Why do I need to file articles of dissolution?
To avoid future state and federal taxes
To protect yourself from future liability
To put creditors on notice
It is legally required
Dissolve a company in 3 easy steps
End Your Legal Liability
Until a company has been formally dissolved, its owners will continue to be held legally responsible for its obligations. Terminating the company will protect the owners from incurring additional liabilities.
Avoid Fees
Companies must continue paying all mandatory state and federal fees until they have been officially dissolved.
Save Time
Let our knowledgeable staff help you complete your articles of dissolution, saving you from having to research the requirements yourself and communicate with the state.
Quick and Easy
Answer our short questionnaire and let us take it from there. We will keep you posted regarding the status of your application and let you know when your dissolution has been approved.

How to permanently close your company
Team
Vote to Dissolve Your Business
Schedule a meeting with the business owners, partners or Board of Directors and take a formal vote on closing the business. This vote needs to be officially recorded.
File document / complaint
File Your Last Tax Return
Pay any outstanding taxes and check the “final return” box when you file your corporate tax return. This lets the IRS know that you will not be filing future returns because your business is closing. If your business is an LLC taxed as a partnership, you also need to report shareholder allocations (and losses) for partners on Schedule K-1.
Eviction Notice
Cancel Business Permits and Licenses
If you applied for any business permits or licenses, contact each government office or agency where you applied and let them know your business is no longer operating.
Review and Update
Prepare Articles of Dissolution
