About Close a Company
We make it simple to close your business the right way — so you can move forward with confidence.
Our Mission
Closing a business should be straightforward — but it rarely is. Between state-specific filing requirements, tax obligations, creditor notifications, and legal paperwork, the process can be overwhelming. Most business owners have never done it before, and the consequences of doing it wrong can follow you for years.
Close a Company exists to fix that. We provide clear, actionable guides that walk you through every step of dissolving your business — no matter what type of entity you operate or which state you’re in. No expensive attorneys. No confusing government websites. Just a clear path from start to finish.
The Shutdown Playbook
A comprehensive 17-chapter guide covering every phase of business dissolution — from governance votes and creditor notifications through asset distribution and final state filings.
Communications Pack
63 ready-made, customizable templates for board resolutions, creditor notices, employee communications, customer announcements, and every other document you’ll need.
State Dissolution Guides
51 state-specific guides (all 50 states + DC) covering the exact filing forms, fees, tax clearance requirements, and agency contacts for your jurisdiction.
Who It’s For
Our guides are built for business owners and startup founders who want to handle their dissolution themselves — confidently and correctly. Whether you’re closing an LLC, shutting down a corporation, or winding down a sole proprietorship, we cover the full lifecycle from the initial decision through the final tax filing.
Why Trust Us
Our guides are built on deep research into federal and state-level dissolution requirements — from IRS business closure procedures to individual state Secretary of State filings. Every chapter is structured around real-world workflows — the same sequence that attorneys and accountants follow when winding down a business.
We focus on practical, actionable steps with checklists and proof artifacts so you can track your progress and document your compliance. Our content aligns with guidance from the U.S. Small Business Administration and covers requirements across all 50 states plus DC. Everything is written in plain English, organized in the order you need it, and designed to save you thousands in professional fees.
Note: Our materials are educational guides, not legal advice. We always recommend consulting with an attorney or accountant for situation-specific guidance.
