Business Mail - Trick or Treat? xitter.cf/i/spaces/1pJkOXlznoXJj

Closing an LLC isn't as simple as deleting its Instagram account and calling it a day 😭 Depending on your state and LLC, you may need member approval, dissolution paperwork, final tax returns, creditor notifications, and closed business accounts. Keep your registered agent in place while the LLC still needs one, and don't assume inactivity ends your filing obligations. Northwest helps with dissolution filings when it's time to close up shop!

Your Registered Agent gets served on your behalf, curious on what happens next? So to start, they're not your attorney, so they're not responding to the serve for you, but they're going to make sure no matter what that it gets to you. A good Registered Agent gets that notice and immediately passes it on to you the second they do.That speedy response is going to keep you from catching strays of a default judgement. So when you're picking your Registered Agent, keep how quick they are in mind 🏃‍♂️💨
