Can you reinstate a dissolved LLC?
Yes, in many states you can typically reinstate an LLC if it was administratively dissolved, canceled or revoked. Although the process may vary, you will need to address the reasons for dissolution, file specific reinstatement forms with the Secretary of State, and pay any outstanding fees or penalties. Keep in mind there's usually a time limit for reinstatement, and each state could have different requirements and procedures based on where your LLC was originally formed.
Let LegalZoom help you to make this process simple with Reinstatement Concierge—we do it all for you.
Should I reinstate my LLC or start a new one?
Deciding whether to reinstate your dissolved LLC or start a new one depends on several factors.
Reinstatement is often less complicated and allows you to retain your original business name and history, but it requires addressing all past compliance issues and outstanding fees. With Reinstatement Concierge, we do the research into why your company fell out of good standing and our concierge guide addresses each requirement needed to get your company back up and running.
Starting a new LLC provides a clean slate but involves new formation paperwork and potentially a new business name. This can be an involved process, however, LegalZoom can help you with our LLC services.
If an LLC is not reinstated after an administrative dissolution, you may still be liable for certain fees. Ultimately, you should consider the costs, time involved, and administrative steps associated with resolving the past issues for reinstatement versus the effort of establishing an entirely new LLC. Call our Reinstatement Concierge team to find you the best reinstatement path.
How much does it cost to reinstate an LLC?
Reinstating a dissolved LLC can vary in costs depending your state. You could pay a reinstatement fee to the Secretary of State, plus any overdue periodic report fees, late penalties, and potential back taxes with interest and penalties from your state's tax authority. Your reinstatement concierge will help to simplify this process for you by outlining the fees that apply to you based on your unique location and needs.
What happens if my LLC is inactive?
When your LLC becomes inactive, it generally means it's no longer in good standing with the state. While inactive, your LLC may lose certain legal protections, making it difficult to conduct business legally, enter into contracts, or pursue lawsuits. You should look to understand the specific consequences in your state to avoid disruptions and potential liabilities.
