• Get Prepared

    • Check your LLC’s formational documents. Your articles of organization and operating agreement should dictate how to dissolve your LLC. The process typically involves activities such as holding a vote with LLC members and settling on a date of dissolution.
    • Make sure your LLC registration is current. You can do so by visiting the Georgia Corporations Division website and checking your LLC’s status. Your LLC should be in active/compliance status. If it is in active/noncompliance status, you must file your annual registration before submitting your Certificate of Termination.
