In Florida, businesses must comply with certain regulations to operate legally. This includes submitting annual reports and other documents on time to stay in good standing. If a business fails to meet these requirements, it could be shut down by the state. However, even if a business has been shut down, it's possible to get back on track by applying for reinstatement.
There are times when business owners decide to close their business but later decide to restart it. Luckily, the state allows such businesses to be revived. One must fill out a specific form and pay a fee to do this.
To bring a corporation back to active status, a corporation Reinstatement form must be submitted to the state's Division of Corporations. A similar process applies to a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Online services are available to assist with the filing process and provide guidance for any queries during the application.
