Dissolve Your Business With State And Local Government Offices
If you are a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation and want to dissolve the company, you must officially dissolve your entity to avoid further business taxes and any lawsuit. The officially dissolving your business also inform your creditors that your business can no longer incur business debts.
Your LLC or corporate business needs to file the necessary forms to the Secretary of State. For example, if you were an LLC or corporate registered in California state, then, you must submit the "certificate of dissolution" and "Certificate of Election" to the California Secretary of State to wind up and dissolve. Both forms disengage your business's debts and liabilities, the business assets, and how you or co-shareholders elected to dissolve the company. If you are an LLC and want to dissolve your business, then you must file an "articles of dissolution" form.
Some states require you to obtain "tax clearance" or "consent to dissolution" from your state tax board. The state's tax clearance and consent to dissolution declare that all business taxes have been paid, and you are allowed company dissolution.
You also need to file the paperwork to state for dissolving a business partnership if you were doing business as a partnership. This is required when you had already submitted the documents with the state when you allied. For example, if you had filed a “Statement of Authority” with the Secretary of State when you formed your partnership. You need to file a “Certificate of Dissolution” when you dissolve your partnership. Filing dissolution paperwork is a good idea; this will notify the creditors that the alliance can no longer acquire debts. This is specifically important when running your business as a partnership, and every partner is usually personally liable for all business debts.
Dissolving An LLC
Since an LLC is formed with the Articles of Incorporation, it makes sense to submit articles for closing a business in operation. Without filing the articles for dissolution, the LLC will continue to be liable for the government taxes and other state requirements. Fortunately, closing a company with CPA Clinics is just a matter of filing paperwork. An article of dissolution must be filed with the state of incorporation for an LLC that is no longer transacting business.
Steps To Dissolving Your LLC Or Corporation
These are three key steps that you can take to dissolve a company. CPA CLINICS complete these steps promptly on your behalf, making a complex and lengthy process quite simple and stress-free.
Hold A Meeting With The Board Of Directors
A consent form from the board of directors is a must when thinking of dissolving your LLC or corporation. This consent/minutes of the meeting will be outlined in your incorporation papers. Companies with shareholders are required to have written documentation of this decision signed by all owners. However, this is not necessary if you are a single-member LLC.
Filing Articles Of Dissolution
You need a registered agent on board to file articles of dissolution. Your registered agent must sign your document. Your registered agent will receive the certificate of dissolution that will formalize the termination of business activity in your state. Once the business dissolution form is documented correctly, all the branches in the state will be immediately and automatically be dissolved as well. You need to file the dissolution of a company in the state where you incorporated/registered.
Notify The IRS
This is an acute phase because it will help you get a "consent to dissolution" or "tax clearance" that makes the procedure smooth. However, to receive this consent, you need to pay all the liable taxes beforehand. The Secretary of State will ask for this consent for an official dissolution. Closing all the bank accounts and credit lines is another additional step to consider when choosing the dissolving of your business. You will also want to cancel your names [if you have] in another state. Save your time and keep your focus on more pressing matters. We'll handle the paperwork for you.
