Bizee’s Reinstatement Service Is Here to Help

Need to Reinstate a Business Back to Good Standing?
Sometimes life and business get complicated. Meeting the business requirements of your state means keeping on top of fees, annual reports and taxes — and if things fall through the cracks, your company can be dissolved.
What Does the Reinstatement
Procedure Look Like?
To get your business reinstated, you first need to look at what went wrong. If you failed to submit the proper paperwork to the state or failed to pay a fee, you need to do that ASAP. Once you’ve taken care of these compliance issues, the reinstatement process typically goes like this:
1
Fill out any reinstatement forms required by your state.
2
File reinstatement forms with the proper state offices like the Secretary of State or the Department of Revenue or Taxation.
3
Pay any required fees.
4
Wait to hear back from your state about your reinstatement status.
What is a "Certificate of Good Standing?"
In certain situations, you may be required to prove that your business exists and complies with relevant state laws and regulations. A Certificate of Good Standing from your state serves as this proof, and you can’t get one if you’re in bad standing.
Ensure Accurate Process for Quick Business Resumption
This is a process you want to get right the first time in order to get back to doing business as soon as possible. Bizee provides reinstatement services in most states to get your business entity active again.
Four Risks of Being in Bad Standing
01
You can’t obtain financing.
Typically, lenders or banks want proof of your business’s existence and business history to evaluate creditworthiness for a loan or certain types of transactions. Plus, if you're seeking investment from investors or other partners, they’ll want to make sure your business is legitimate and in compliance with local laws and regulations.
02
There‘s no way to do business in other states.
To do business in states other than your home state, your business will need to apply for Foreign Qualification in the new state. To do this, you must be in good standing with your current state.
03
You have no proof for licensing agencies and regulators.
In order to renew or obtain certain permits and licenses, you may need to provide a Certificate of Good Standing to licensing agencies and regulators in your state.
04
You can’t sell your business.
If the day comes when you want to sell your business, you’ll need to show proof of its existence, history and compliance to interested business brokers and buyers.
