The Basics
What Are Articles of Dissolution?
If you're wondering how to dissolve an LLC, it starts with a formal filing with your state's Secretary of State. LLC dissolution is the legal process of closing your limited liability company by filing Articles of Dissolution (also called a Certificate of Cancellation in some states). Without this filing, your LLC remains active and continues to accumulate annual fees, franchise taxes, and compliance obligations.
Every state requires a formal filing to close an LLC. Simply stopping business operations does not cancel your LLC or remove it from state records. States like California, Delaware, and New York charge ongoing fees to active LLCs regardless of whether they generate revenue. In California alone, the annual franchise tax is $800 per year for every registered LLC.
Our LLC dissolution service handles the entire process for you, starting at $99 plus state filing fees. We prepare your Articles of Dissolution, handle required tax clearances, and file directly with the Secretary of State on your behalf. With our Complete Closure plan, we also file your final federal tax returns and handle full EIN cancellation with the IRS, so your business is completely closed at both the state and federal level.

The Process
How the filing works
Verify Good Standing. Most states require your LLC to be in good standing before accepting dissolution paperwork. We check this before filing. If there are outstanding fees or missing reports, we flag them.
Final Tax Return
Prepare the Correct Form. We prepare the dissolution form specific to your state. Forms vary significantly. Some states require a tax clearance letter first. Others require a statement that all debts are paid. We know the requirements.
Articles of Dissolution
Calculate and Include State Fees. State filing fees range from $0 (Arizona, Iowa) to $200 (Massachusetts). We calculate the correct fee and include it with your filing.
IRS EIN
File with the State. We submit your paperwork to the correct state office. For states with online filing (most major states), we file the same day. For states requiring mail filing, we use certified mail.
Confirmation. Once the state approves your filing, you receive a stamped copy of your Articles of Dissolution. This is your proof that the LLC is closed. We forward it to you.
