dissolution of business

A business owner may decide to dissolve the business for a variety of reasons, ranging from the business not being profitable to wanting to retire and not being able to sell the business or have a family member take over the business.

Dissolution of a business operating as a limited liability company or corporation will usually include filing articles of dissolution with the secretary of state’s office.

A business owner wanting to dissolve a company may want to wind up the business’s affairs, terminate its tax reporting obligations and the payment of annual registration fees, and liquidate any remaining assets.

But a business owner should understand the implications of these actions and the business’s obligations to secured and unsecured creditors, employees, and state and federal tax authorities.
