Business Filing to Withdraw a Certificate of Authority

Q: What does “Withdrawal” mean?
A: “Withdrawal” is the commonly used term meant to describe the process by which a company can notify the state that they are no longer conducting business in that state. The official filing is called an “Application for Certificate of Withdrawal”.
Q: Do I need to file a Withdrawal in the state where my business was originally formed?
A: No. The process for your home state is called a Dissolution, which is very different. A Dissolution completely dissolves your business, ending your status as a separate legal entity. A withdrawal is only done in states where you have previously filed a Foreign Qualification.
