Business Dissolution: The Essentials

In East Lake, dissolving a business means legally ending its operations and ensuring all obligations are addressed. This could happen for various reasons—bankruptcy, the owner retiring, or a decision to pursue other ventures. It’s more than just closing the doors. The dissolution process requires following a detailed legal procedure to ensure debts are settled and assets are properly distributed. The exact steps depend on the type of business and its relationships with others. Clearwater Business Law helps clients navigate this process, whether it’s a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, and no matter what type of business is being closed.

How Do I Navigate the Business Dissolution Process in Florida?

Dissolving a business in Florida involves several legal steps, especially if it is not a sole proprietorship. Start by filing a Notice of Corporate Dissolution with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations. You may then need to file Articles of Dissolution, available for download on the Division’s website. In many cases, filing a final tax return is also a necessary step in the dissolution process.
