Filing Articles of Dissolution
Closing your business? Do it the right way. We handle the paperwork, filings, and compliance so you can move forward without legal loose ends.
What is Dissolution?
Dissolution is the formal process of closing a registered business with the state. It ensures your company is officially terminated and no longer liable for future taxes, fees, or compliance obligations. Without it, your business may still appear active in public records—even if you’re no longer operating.
Filing dissolution also helps protect your name, release obligations, and avoid unnecessary penalties down the line.
Avoid Unnecessary Fees and Taxes by Filing Dissolution
If you’re not operating anymore, you’re still on the hook for state compliance filings—unless you file for dissolution. Annual reports, franchise taxes, and late fees pile up fast.
By officially closing your business with the state, you protect yourself from hidden fees, tax notices, and future liability. One quick filing now can save you hundreds later.
Steps to Dissolving Your LLC or Corporation
Before your business officially closes, there are critical steps you must take to avoid legal or tax complications. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
For corporations, a formal resolution is needed from your board or shareholders. For LLCs, members must approve the dissolution per your operating agreement.
Make sure meeting minutes are recorded and signed to document the decision. This step provides legal proof of intent and helps protect you from future disputes.
Before you dissolve, you must clear all outstanding debts, taxes, and obligations. This includes paying off loans, resolving payroll, and settling state tax accounts.
You’ll also need to distribute any remaining assets to owners or shareholders based on the legal ownership structure. Failure to do this properly can trigger legal action.
Once internal approvals are secured and debts settled, you can file Articles of Dissolution with your state. This formally ends your business’s legal existence.
Afterward, be sure to cancel your business licenses, seller’s permits, and other registrations. This ensures you won’t be billed or penalized after the business is gone.
Filing Articles of Dissolution formally closes your business with the state and prevents future liabilities. It’s a necessary step for LLCs and Corporations that have ceased operations but want to avoid compliance fees, state taxes, or penalties down the road.
By completing this filing, you notify the state that your entity is no longer active—protecting your business name, assets, and reputation. Without it, your company could still be considered active in government databases, leaving you open to legal or financial issues.
VRE simplifies the dissolution process with step-by-step guidance and expert support, so you can close out clean and move forward confidently.
