Your LLC was dissolved for a missed report?
We put it back.
Most owners find out months later — a bank, a client, or a lawsuit tells them. We prepare the reinstatement and every back-year annual report, you review and sign, and your company is back in good standing.
1. A report was missed
Every state wants an annual (or biennial) report or franchise-tax filing — even from a company that made $0. Miss it and the late fees start: Florida adds $400 after May 1; Delaware adds $200 plus 1.5% a month.
2. The state dissolved it
Ignore it long enough and the state administratively dissolves or forfeits the company — no court, often just a letter to an old address. Contracts, bank accounts and your liability shield are all at risk while it stays that way.
3. Reinstatement fixes it
A reinstatement application plus every report year you owe, filed with the state's fees, restores the company — usually as if it never lapsed. That is the packet we prepare for you.
What the state charges
Our fee is $199 per company. State amounts below are from each state's own site and are charged at cost, on a separate invoice, once we confirm them for your company. Other states: we quote before filing.

Questions owners ask
Why was my LLC dissolved when I never closed it?
Most states dissolve or revoke a company that misses its annual report long enough — Florida after the third Friday of September, North Carolina 60 days after a notice, Louisiana after three consecutive missed reports. No court is involved, and the notice often goes to an old address.
What does it cost in total?
$199 to us, plus the state's reinstatement fee and each back-year report at cost. Florida is the clearest example: $100 to reinstate an LLC plus $138.75 per report year owed. We confirm exact amounts before filing.
Can I just form a new LLC instead?
Sometimes, but you lose the formation date, the EIN history, contracts and accounts in the old name — and some states still bill the old company. If a fresh start really is cheaper for you, we'll say so.
Already have a registered agent?
Keep them. If the state also requires a current agent to reinstate, we'll tell you; our Registered Agent Service is $74.25 a year if you need one.
Not dissolved yet — just late?
Then you only need the annual report filing ($120 + state fee). Order that instead; it's cheaper.
