If my business entity has been administratively dissolved by the Secretary of States Office, how can I get it reinstated?
If your entity is a business corporation, you may reinstate at any time after the dissolution by filing an Application for Reinstatement of a Corporation Dissolved by an Administrative Action. Nonprofit corporations and LLCs must file for reinstatement within two years of the date of the administrative dissolution. If your entity has been administratively dissolved due to failure to file a tax return to the South Carolina Department of Revenue (DOR), you must first contact the DOR at (803) 896-1730. The DOR will assist you in curing any filing deficiencies with their office. Once you have complied with the DOR, they will issue a Certificate of Tax Compliance. This certificate should be filed with the Secretary of States Office with the Application for Reinstatement. Please see our Library of Forms and Fees page for additional information.
