Closing a Business Is Harder Than Starting One

You started your business in days. Shutting it down? That’s a different story.

Every State Has Different Rules — We’ve Got Them Covered

Each state has its own dissolution filing forms, requirements, and deadlines — whether you’re closing an LLC or a corporation. Our guides break it all down state by state, so you can handle everything yourself — no guesswork, no surprises.

Figuring Out What to Do Has Never Been Easier

Board resolutions. Creditor notices. Tax clearances. EIN cancellation. We walk you through every form and filing in order — so you always know exactly what comes next.

Hiring Help Costs Thousands — This Doesn’t

Dissolution attorneys and services charge $5,000 to $25,000+ for LLC dissolution or corporation shutdown. Our guides give you the same step-by-step process, templates, and checklists — whether it’s a sole proprietorship or a C Corp — for less than $100.

We Built This So You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

Nobody starts a business planning for the end. But when it’s time, you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone. These guides give you a clear, step-by-step path through every filing, notification, and deadline — no guesswork, no gaps, and no expensive professionals required. From dissolution filing and creditor notification to tax clearance certificates and final account closures — every step of the business wind-down process is covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of businesses do your guides cover?
Our guides cover LLCs, corporations (C-corp and S-corp), sole proprietorships, and partnerships. The 17-chapter Shutdown Playbook addresses the dissolution process for all entity types, with specific guidance where procedures differ.
Is this relevant for tech startups?
Absolutely. Closing a tech startup involves the same legal dissolution process as any other business — plus additional considerations like IP assignment, investor notifications, accelerator/incubator obligations, and SaaS contract wind-down. Our guides cover all of it.
Is this updated for 2026?
Yes. Our guides reflect current state filing requirements, fees, and procedures as of 2026. We regularly review and update content to ensure accuracy.
Do I still need a lawyer?
Many of our customers handle their entire dissolution themselves using our guides. That said, it’s always a good idea to have an attorney available — especially if you’re dealing with pending litigation, complex liabilities, or disputed ownership. Our guides give you the knowledge to handle the process confidently, and to have more productive conversations with legal counsel if you do engage one.
What format are the downloads?
All guides are delivered as PDF files for easy reading and printing. The Templates & Communications Pack also includes editable DOCX files so you can customize each document for your specific situation.
What if my state isn’t covered?
Every state is covered. We offer individual guides for all 50 states plus the District of Columbia — 51 guides in total. Each one covers your state’s specific forms, fees, tax clearance procedures, and agency contacts.
Can I get a refund?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If our guides don’t give you the clarity and confidence you need, email us within 30 days for a full refund — no questions asked.
How is this different from hiring a dissolution service?
Dissolution services charge $5,000 to $25,000+ to handle the process for you. Our self-service guides give you the same step-by-step process, forms, and templates for under $80. You do the filings yourself, but you’ll know exactly what to file, when, and where.
How long does the dissolution process take?
It varies by state and business complexity. Simple dissolutions can be completed in a few weeks, while more complex situations involving creditor notification periods, tax clearances, or multiple state registrations can take several months. Our guides include expected timelines for each phase so you can plan accordingly.
