Reinstating a Business

Can I reinstate my business?

• All businesses can file for reinstatement after an administrative dissolution and will keep their original date of formation.
• Only limited liability companies (LLCs) and limited partnerships (LPs) can file for reinstatement after a voluntary dissolution. They will keep their original date of formation.
