FileReinstate.com is a fast and reliable e-filing service that helps businesses reinstate their LLC or Corporation back into good standing with the state. We handle the paperwork and filing process for you, ensuring accuracy and compliance in all 50 states.

If your business falls out of good standing, the state may involuntarily dissolve your LLC or Corporation, meaning you lose legal protections and the ability to operate. This can also prevent you from signing contracts, securing funding, or maintaining business accounts.

Businesses can lose their Certificate of Good Standing for several reasons, including:

• Failure to file an Annual Report or Statement of Information
• Missing state-required fees or franchise taxes
• Not maintaining a Registered Agent
• Failing to meet compliance requirements set by the state

If your business lost its status for any of these reasons, we can help get it reinstated quickly!

No. Once dissolved, your business is no longer in good standing and cannot legally conduct business, enter contracts, or access legal protections. Reinstatement is required to resume full operations.

The reinstatement process varies by state, but generally involves the following steps:

1. Determine eligibility – We check state records to ensure your business qualifies for reinstatement.
2. Prepare the necessary forms – We gather and complete all required reinstatement documents.
3. Resolve outstanding fees – If there are unpaid taxes or penalties, they must be addressed.
4. Submit your reinstatement filing – We e-file your paperwork directly with the state.
5. Get approval – Once the state processes your request, your business is restored to good standing.

FileReinstate handles all of these steps for you so you can focus on running your business.

Processing times vary by state, but in many cases, reinstatement can be completed in just a few days. In many cases, we can complete it in under 24 hours. We’ll provide an estimated timeframe based on your state’s requirements.

We stand by our service with a 100% money-back guarantee. If your reinstatement isn’t approved due to a filing error on our part, we’ll refund your payment.

Manually reinstating a dissolved business typically involves:

• Filing a reinstatement application with the Secretary of State
• Paying all overdue state fees and penalties
• Submitting any missing annual reports or tax returns
• Requesting and obtaining a tax clearance certificate (if required)
• Mailing or hand-delivering all required documents to the correct state agency

This process can be time-consuming, confusing, and varies from state to state. If you miss a step or submit incomplete paperwork, your filing can be delayed or rejected.

That’s where FileReinstate comes in. We streamline the entire process by preparing all necessary forms, handling the filing for you, and ensuring compliance with your state’s specific requirements. No guesswork. No stress. Just a fast and reliable way to get your business back in good standing.

Costs vary by state but typically include:

• A reinstatement filing fee
• Penalties or interest on late payments
• Fees for missed annual reports

Using FileReinstate saves time by bundling all requirements into one streamlined process.

Yes, some states allow you to change your LLC or Corporation’s name as part of the reinstatement process. If you need a name change, let us know, and we’ll check the options in your state.

If your original business name has been claimed by another entity, you may need to file an amendment with a new name or choose a variation of your original name to continue.

FileReinstate charges a flat service fee of $149 for handling the paperwork and submission. However, you might need to pay the state filing fees, unpaid taxes, and penalties to the state to complete the reinstatement process. We will obtain all the necessary government fees once we review your case.

Many states dissolve businesses that lack a registered agent. Reinstating your business may require appointing a new registered agent and including their information in your reinstatement paperwork.

It depends on the state. Some states have no time limit, while others require reinstatement within a specific number of years (e.g., 2–5 years). If your window has passed, you may need to form a new entity.

It’s simple! Just enter your business name and state on our website, and we’ll guide you through the process. Our team will take care of everything to get your business back in good standing.

Absolutely. We use encryption and secure payment processing to protect your personal and business information throughout the filing process.
