How to Dissolve a Nevada Corporation
To dissolve a corporation in Nevada, you must file a certificate of dissolution with the secretary of state's office. Reasons to dissolve a corporation include bankruptcy, company merger or changing to a different business structure. In some cases, the death of an owner or board member may lead to corporate dissolution. Contact an attorney that specializes in corporate law before filing a certificate of dissolution to ensure that all business debts, taxes and other obligations have been settled.
