How to Dissolve Your Business

Many business owners find themselves knee deep in their business and suddenly wanting out. Regardless of the motivations, the dissolution of a business is a long process that may be eased with the help of a business lawyer.

If you are considering dissolving your business, contact the experienced Texas business attorneys of Slater Kennon & Jameson, LLP at 512-472-2431 for legal advice.

Steps to Dissolution

In order to successfully dissolve your business and reduce your chances for lawsuit and liability, consider the following steps:

  • Go through all open contracts and determine the course of action you must take to end them as quickly as possible without breaching contract.
  • If you have a lease agreement, contact the landlord and discuss a negotiation. If not possible, you must honor your agreement.
  • Do you want to continue insurance coverage after dissolution in case of a future lawsuit? Or do you want to risk ending it immediately?
  • What will you do with any inventory you may have left over? You may have to file a bulk sales report, if you choose to resell.
  • How will you notify your employees? Make sure you abide by state laws in this field.
