The Basics of Business Dissolution

A business dissolution in Brandon means the company’s legal existence is officially ended. This can occur for many reasons, like bankruptcy, an owner’s retirement, or the desire to move on to new ventures. The dissolution process isn’t a simple task—it requires detailed steps to settle financial and legal matters. Each business’s dissolution process will look different depending on its legal structure and its obligations to others. At Clearwater Business Law, we help businesses navigate the complexities of both voluntary and involuntary dissolutions. From sole proprietorships to corporations, we provide tailored assistance to ensure that all obligations are met and the business is closed responsibly.

How Do You Begin a Business Dissolution in Florida?

For most businesses in Florida (aside from sole proprietorships), there are specific steps required to dissolve the business properly. You’ll likely need to begin by filing a Notice of Corporate Dissolution with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations. Once that’s done, you may need to submit Articles of Dissolution by downloading the form from the Division’s website. In many cases, a final tax return must also be filed.
