How We Create Content
Every piece of content on Close a Company is researched using primary sources. We go directly to the official government websites — state Secretary of State offices, the IRS, the SBA, and state departments of revenue — to verify filing requirements, fees, deadlines, and procedures.
We do not rely on third-party summaries or other content sites as primary sources. When we cite a filing fee, a form number, or a deadline, we’ve confirmed it against the official source and we link to it so you can verify it yourself.
Review Process
All content is reviewed by our team before publication. This includes:
- Fact-checking — Every filing requirement, fee, form number, and deadline is verified against official government sources.
- Accuracy review — Content is reviewed for legal accuracy and completeness. We flag areas where requirements vary by state or entity type.
- Clarity check — We ensure all content is written in plain English and accessible to non-lawyers. Legal terms are defined when first introduced.
How We Keep Content Current
Business dissolution requirements change. States update their fees, redesign their filing portals, and occasionally revise their statutory requirements. We maintain our content on a regular update cycle:
- Legal and tax content — Reviewed and updated quarterly, or immediately when we become aware of a change.
- State-specific content — Filing fees and procedures verified at least twice per year against official state websites.
- General guides — Reviewed every six months for accuracy and completeness.
Every article displays a “Last updated” date so you know how current the information is.
What We Are — And What We’re Not
Close a Company provides educational content about business dissolution. Our guides, templates, and state-specific instructions are designed to help you understand the process and take action with confidence.
We are not a law firm, accounting firm, or licensed professional service. Our content does not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice. It is not a substitute for consulting with a licensed attorney, CPA, or tax professional in your state.
We always recommend working with a qualified professional for:
- Complex tax situations (significant assets, multi-state operations, outstanding IRS issues)
- Businesses with pending or threatened litigation
- Situations involving bankruptcy or insolvency
- Any situation where you’re unsure about your legal obligations
