Business dissolution

Regrettably, not all businesses succeed to the level their owners might have once hoped. Dissolution can be caused in many ways, including the failure to file annual reports or pay certain taxes in the state of incorporation, bankruptcy, or voluntary dissolution by business owners.

How it Works

You provide some simple information, and we do the rest. Dash Tax & Business Solutions will:

• Prepare and quality check your filing to ensure it meets all state requirements – if it doesn’t, we will contact you immediately*
• Process your payment
• Request your signature on the pre-prepared dissolution documents
• Submit your signed documents to the state – we also offer expediting service if you need it faster
• Deliver a digital copy of the state-approved dissolution documents within your BizComply Status Center
• Ship your official dissolution documents through FedEx with your tracking number posted within your BizComply Status Center

*Note: Certain states may require tax clearance (proof that taxes have been paid) which may lengthen the processing of your dissolution. We will let you know if your state requires it.

Why it’s important

If your company is ceasing operations or is no longer in business, filing Articles of Dissolution legally ends your company’s existence in your state of incorporation or in your state of qualification, if you had registered to transact business in another state (foreign qualified).

Companies incorporated or foreign qualified in a state face annual report and taxation requirements in that state. Unless the state knows your company is no longer in existence, those obligations will continue. Typically late fees and penalties will continue to accumulate. Dissolving your business with the state will end these obligations.
