So the spark is gone. The passion? Meh. Maybe your LLC was a summer fling. Or maybe it was more like a messy situationship â with receipts, too many Canva files, and a business partner you now only text âper my last email.â
Either way, youâre ready to move on. Respect.đ
Letâs be honest: Dissolving your LLC sounds dramatic, but it doesnât have to be messy â especially if you do it right (or, you know, let us do it right for you).

đ© Step 1: Admit Itâs Over (Emotionally and Legally)
Business owners avoid dissolving their LLCs because it feels final â like deleting your wedding Pinterest board. But keeping an inactive LLC alive means:
Ongoing state filing requirements
Late fees or penalties if you forget to file
Being tracked down by the IRS even though you havenât sold a thing since 2021
If youâre not using the LLC anymore, save yourself the stress and file the breakup paperwork.
âïž Step 2: Write the âItâs Not Me, Itâs Youâ Letter
AKA a Resolution to Dissolve â a short document that says, âHey, Iâm the boss and Iâm choosing to shut this thing down.â
If youâre the only member of your LLC (single-member), this is super simple. You literally just sign a document stating you're closing.
If youâre in a multi-member LLC, youâll need agreement from all members per your operating agreement (so yes, it might require one last awkward group chat).
We include this resolution as part of our service â but if you're DIYing it, search your stateâs sample templates or ask a legal site for a boilerplate.
đŹ Step 3: File the Articles of Dissolution
This is where the state gets involved â and where most DIY dreams go to die.
Youâll need to:
Go to your Secretary of Stateâs website
Find the correct Articles of Dissolution form (sometimes called a Certificate of Termination)
Fill it out exactly right (typos = rejection)
Pay a filing fee (usually $25â$100)
Submit online or by mail
Pro tip:Â The form is different in every state, so donât assume you can copy what your friend in Texas did if youâre in Oklahoma.

đ§Ÿ Step 4: Close the Loops
Before you dip:
Pay off business debts
Cancel any subscriptions or services tied to the LLC (Zoom, Mailchimp, that bougie business phone line you never answered)
Close your business bank account
File your final tax return (check the âfinal returnâ box when you file your Schedule C or corporate return)
Notify your state tax agency and IRS that your EIN is no longer in use (optional, but tidy)
đĄ Step 5: Cancel Licenses & Permits
Depending on your business type, you might need to cancel:
Sellerâs permits
Business licenses
Local tax IDs
Yelp profiles, Google Business listings, etc.
If you skip this part, donât be surprised if a business license renewal shows up in your inbox next year like an ex who âjust wanted to check in.â
đ Step 6: Keep the Receipts
Once you dissolve your LLC, keep digital copies of:
The signed resolution
The filed Articles of Dissolution
Your final tax documents
Any confirmation letters/emails from the state
Why? Because one day you might need to prove your business is closed â for taxes, legal reasons, or to show your new business boo that youâve healed.
