What is Massachusetts LLC Dissolution?

A Massachusetts LLC is created when the MA Secretary of the Commonwealth approves the Articles of Organization. A record of the Massachusetts LLC is added to the list of LLCs which have officially registered with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.  Once a LLC is registered with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth, that LLC immediately has both reporting and tax obligations which incur penalties if the obligations are not met by the required deadlines.   more...

Why do I need to Dissolve a Massachusetts LLC?

As soon as a Massachusetts LLC is registered with the MA Secretary of the Commonwealth, that LLC is responsible for recurring obligations of the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.  If the Massachusetts LLC does not file reports or pay taxes then that MA Limited Liability Company could be responsible for penalties which go up as time goes by.

Unless you Dissolve your Massachusetts LLC with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth that MA Limited Liability Company will be responsible for all recurring fees and penalties.

How long before someone can use my LLC name in Massachusetts after I Dissolve?

A MA Limited Liability company name becomes available for anyone to use when the Massachusetts LLC is Dissolved by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.

There are no state of Massachusetts requirements for the publication of a Notice of Dissolution of a Massachusetts LLC.

While the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth does not legally require the publication of a Notice of Dissolution of a Massachusetts LLC, publication is a good way to notify anyone who might have a claim against the Massachusetts LLC.  Evidence of publication might prove useful down the line if someone makes a claim against the MA Limited Liability Company after the Massachusetts LLC has been dissolved.
