How to Dissolve an LLC in Rhode Island

What you need to know about Rhode Island LLC dissolution

Rhode Island charges no fee for LLC dissolution.

Rhode Island LLC dissolution is handled by the Rhode Island Secretary of State. The official form is called the Articles of Dissolution, and it must be signed by an authorized member, manager, or officer of the LLC.

Rhode Island 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 Articles of Dissolution — submit to the Rhode Island 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.
