For a company to truly terminate its existence, it needs to file Articles of Dissolution with the state where it was formed. This notifies the Secretary of State that the corporation or LLC will no longer be in existence or functioning. The exact requirements for filing Articles of Dissolution vary depending on the jurisdiction, but it is important that they are filed.

Without filing the Articles of Dissolution the state will not know that the business is no longer in existence. In addition, filing the Articles of Dissolution will stop fees that would normally be due if the business were operating. This is a formality that may seem painful, but it can actually end up saving a business-owner money in the long run. If several years go by without dissolving a company, the company can be assessed hundreds, and maybe even thousands, of dollars in fees and non-compliance penalties. Other possible penalties include continued tax liability, continued personal liability, inability to distribute assets, need to file annual reports, and future liability from the products and services sold by the entity. No business owner wants the insult of more fees and penalties added to the injury that comes from having to close a business.

MyCorporation can help file the Articles of Dissolution for submission to the appropriate state agencies. This can help alleviate the headache that comes from having to wade through these documents and file them with by yourself or using the costly services of an attorney. It will also save you money in the long-run.
