Dissolving a Virginia LLC If you and other members of your organization are considering dissolving your LLC, it's important to address the required steps; otherwise, you could face administrative consequences and additional challenges associated with the dissolution of your Virginia LLC.
Before you file paperwork Before anything is filed with the state to formally terminate the existence of the LLC, members of the LLC need to take certain actions. As a first step, members of the LLC need to approve the dissolution. This can be done in accordance with the operating agreement of the LLC or through a unanimous consent of the members approving the dissolution. Regardless of the method, the vote on the dissolution should be recorded in the minutes of the meeting in which it occurred. This can be helpful in the event that someone does not remember providing their consent.

What to file You are responsible for taking the necessary actions to notify creditors prior to dissolving a Virginia LLC and winding up the company. You will need to make arrangements to pay all LLC liabilities, debts and obligations. Virginia requires that an articles of cancellation form be filed with the State Corporation Commission to dissolve an LLC. This form is available online and there is a fee for filing. By filing these articles, you are formally terminating the LLC’s status as a business entity registered directly with the state. This is also referred to as the formal process of dissolution. Virginia does not require your LLC to have tax clearance prior to dissolution.
We recognize that this process can be overwhelming and frustrating for someone in the midst of winding down the business of an LLC. To avoid the hassles associated, you can partner with our service and we will handle all aspects of dissolving your Virginia LLC for you.
Impact of dissolution Once formally dissolved with the state, the name of your Virginia LLC is not protected. Other entities may be eligible to use the name immediately.
Finally, remember that if you are authorized to do business in other states, you will need to follow the necessary procedures within those states to decrease your chances of facing additional consequences outside of Virginia. Swyft Filings can help with your withdrawal from any state where you are foreign qualified.
