How to Dissolve an LLC in Delaware

What you need to know about Delaware LLC dissolution

Delaware requires all franchise taxes to be current before dissolution. Filing fee is $200 for LLCs.

Delaware LLC dissolution is handled by the Delaware Secretary of State. The official form is called the Certificate of Cancellation, and it must be signed by an authorized member, manager, or officer of the LLC.

Delaware dissolution process

1. Member or manager approval — per your operating agreement, get the required approval to dissolve.
2. Wind up affairs — collect receivables, pay outstanding debts, distribute remaining assets to members.
3. File the Certificate of Cancellation — submit to the Delaware Secretary of State along with the applicable filing fee.
4. File final federal and state tax returns — marked as "final return."
5. Cancel licenses, permits, and registrations — local, state, and any other jurisdictions.
