Forget to File Your Annual Report? Need to Reinstate Your Business?
If your business was "administratively dissolved" for failure to file an annual report within the last five years, you can request to have the business entity reinstated.
A special form is required to reinstate a business entity that has been administratively dissolved for less than 5-years. You must use this form to correct any inaccurate information about the business and pay the reinstatement fees indicated on the form.
At this time, only limited liability companies and business corporations are able to reinstate online. Assumed Business Names require a paper form.
