Dissolution Service FAQs

What is a corporate dissolution or termination?
Dissolution is the process of formally winding down or terminating your business. In addition to a final accounting of the assets and liabilities, you will have to file the necessary paperwork with your state. A proper dissolution should also be documented with the proper corporate resolutions.
So, how do I close my business?
When closing an LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, you’ll need to follow these steps:
Make sure all owners are on the same page and agree to close, creating a written agreement stating so.
File dissolution documents (this is where we can begin to help).
Cancel all permits, licenses, and registrations.
Comply with all employment and labor laws in regards to employee payments after closing your business.
Resolve any financial obligations.
Maintain tax and employment records in case you need to reference them in the future.

What has to be filed with the state to formally close my business?
You will need to file the necessary paperwork in the state where you incorporated and any states where you foreign qualified to do business. Many states call it a Certificate of Dissolution or Articles of Dissolution. Some states will not allow this until there is confirmation that all due tax payments have been paid.
What happens if I don’t formally dissolve my business?
Just because you decided to shut down does not end the business’s filing and tax obligations. You will need to formalize the closing with the IRS and the state entities. To make sure you are no longer on the hook for paying annual fees, filing annual reports, and paying business taxes, you have to file your official documents with the state. Failing to do so allows for fees and fines to mount for which you can be personally liable.
What’s the difference between a withdrawal and a dissolution?
Withdrawal is a term that generally means you withdraw from doing business in a particular state, but not wrapping up business overall. If you foreign qualified to do business in another state, but no longer do so, you would file a withdrawal to terminate your reporting requirements in that state without terminating your entire business.
Dissolving your company isn’t a decision to make lightly. If you’re curious about what dissolution truly means and how to move forward after going through the process, Swyft’s Resource Center has valuable guides, articles, and case studies that suit your needs.
