Business Dissolution
Close Your Company the Right Way — and Walk Away Clean
Stopping work isn’t the same as closing a company. LLCGATE files your official dissolution with the state so the fees, filings, and liability stop for good — no lingering obligations, no surprise penalties.

The problem
An abandoned company keeps costing you — quietly.
If you just stop operating, the state still considers your business active. Annual reports keep coming due, franchise taxes and fees keep accruing, and your registered agent keeps billing. Ignore them and you rack up penalties, lose good standing, and can be held personally responsible for unmet obligations. Closing properly requires settling debts, filing final returns, and submitting articles of dissolution — in the right order.
External
"It’s still costing me money."
Fees and filings continue until you formally close.
Internal
"I don’t know the steps."
Final taxes, creditor notice, articles of dissolution — in what order?
Philosophical
"Ending should be as clean as starting."
You should be able to close a chapter without it haunting you.

FAQ
Questions founders ask before closing
Can’t I just stop using it?
No — the state keeps it active and keeps charging until you formally dissolve.
What do I need to do first?
Generally settle debts and file final tax returns; we guide the sequence and file the dissolution.
Do I need to close my EIN?
The IRS doesn’t reuse EINs, but you can close the business account with the IRS. We explain how.
I’m a non-US owner — can you still help?
Yes — we handle US-entity dissolutions for international owners.
