Why Do You Need A North Dakota Reinstatement For Your LLC Or Corporation?
When a company falls into bad standing with the state, it may face noncompliance fines or possible administrative dissolution. North Dakota reinstatement is a way to bring it back into good standing so it can continue doing business.
What Is Needed To File For Reinstatement?
What good standing status entails may vary depending on the state. Generally, it means the proper filing of required reports and obligations on time. In some states, it also means that the company is current on its tax requirements.
The North Dakota reinstatement process may vary depending on the state where the company operates, so there will be differences in the requirements and transactions. Make sure you understand the laws of your state to avoid any issues.
In most cases, a dissolved or suspended company cannot legally do business in the state. It may be unable to sue or defend a lawsuit either. It is also possible for all of the contracts a dissolved company has gotten into to be voided.
North Dakota is one of the states that do not have a reinstatement form. A dissolved company will only have to file its past-due annual reports and pay the corresponding fees and the reinstatement fee. You can submit the documents and payment to the Secretary of State by mail, by fax, or in person. All fax filings require credit card payments.
