Why It Matters

Your Indiana LLC Is Dissolved — Here's What That Means

Indiana administratively dissolves LLCs that fail to file their biennial Business Entity Report or pay associated fees. Once dissolved, your LLC loses its legal status — it cannot enter contracts, sue or be sued as an entity, or provide the liability protection that makes an LLC valuable. Indiana's reinstatement process is comparatively simple and affordable, but every day of delay increases delinquent report fees and extends the window of personal liability exposure for any business conducted under the dissolved entity.

🛡️

Restore Your Shield

LLC liability protection is inactive while dissolved. Reinstatement re-establishes the legal separation between you and your business debts.

1

Look Up Your LLC on INBiz

Go to the Indiana INBiz portal (inbiz.in.gov) and search for your LLC by name or business ID. Confirm the entity's current status as "Dissolved" or "Revoked," identify the dissolution date, and note which Business Entity Report years are outstanding. This is your starting point for calculating total fees owed.

Identify and Prepare Delinquent Business Entity Reports

Indiana LLCs must file a Business Entity Report every two years. For each delinquent report period, you will owe $50 plus a $50 late penalty. Gather the information needed for each delinquent period: registered agent details, principal office address, and management structure as it existed during that period.

1–2 days preparation

Monitor INBiz for Approval

Indiana's Secretary of State typically processes reinstatement applications within 15–20 business days. Check INBiz periodically for a status update. You will receive an email notification when the reinstatement is approved. No follow-up with a secondary agency is required.

Download Your Certificate of Existence

Once reinstated, download a Certificate of Existence (Indiana's equivalent of a Certificate of Good Standing) directly from the INBiz portal. This document confirms your LLC is active and in good standing and is accepted by banks, lenders, and commercial counterparties to verify entity status.

Common Questions

Indiana LLC Reinstatement FAQ

Does Indiana require tax clearance to reinstate an LLC? +
No. Indiana does not require a tax clearance letter from the Department of Revenue as a condition of reinstatement. The entire process is handled through the INBiz portal with the Secretary of State. This makes Indiana one of the more straightforward states to reinstate in — there is no secondary agency coordination, no clearance letter to wait for, and no risk of the SOS rejecting your filing due to tax issues.
What is a Business Entity Report and how is it different from an annual report? +
Indiana calls its compliance filing the Business Entity Report rather than an annual report, and it is due every two years (biennially) rather than annually. It confirms basic information about your LLC: registered agent, principal office address, and the names of members or managers. The $50 fee covers a two-year reporting period. If you missed multiple periods, you will owe $50 + $50 late penalty for each missed two-year window.
How long does Indiana LLC reinstatement take? +
Indiana processes reinstatement applications within approximately 15–20 business days from the date of filing. There is no secondary agency holding up the timeline. If you file delinquent Business Entity Reports and the reinstatement application in the same session, the clock starts immediately. Expedited processing options may be available through INBiz for an additional fee if you need a faster turnaround.
Can I reinstate my Indiana LLC if I want to use a different name? +
Reinstatement restores your LLC under its existing legal name. If you want to change the name, you will need to file a separate Articles of Amendment through INBiz after the reinstatement is complete. You cannot simultaneously reinstate and rename the entity in a single filing. Confirm the existing name is still available before initiating reinstatement — if another entity has registered the same name since your dissolution, you may be required to amend before or after reinstatement.
What happens to contracts and debts from when the LLC was dissolved? +
Indiana's reinstatement statute provides that reinstatement is retroactive to the date of dissolution, meaning the LLC's legal existence is deemed to have continued uninterrupted. This generally validates contracts and other actions taken during the dissolution period, though courts may examine specific circumstances. Debts incurred during the dissolution period remain obligations of the LLC after reinstatement. Consult an attorney if you have material contracts or liabilities that originated during the dissolution window.
