New Hampshire LLC Reinstatement: The Exact Steps

New Hampshire dissolves LLCs for failure to file annual reports by April 1 each year with the Secretary of State. The path back requires filing a reinstatement application with the correct state agency and clearing all outstanding fees.

Why businesses get dissolved

Annual reports are due April 1 each year. A single missed report puts your LLC on the path to administrative dissolution.

📬

Registered Agent Vacancy

The state has no valid agent on file to receive official correspondence.

💰

Accumulated Late Penalties

Penalties of $25/year accumulate on top of the $100 annual report fee.

📝
