Best Online LLC Dissolution Services (2026)
Table of contents

Closing your business? Starcycle runs the shutdown with you.

Get started

An online LLC dissolution service collects your information, prepares your state's dissolution document and files it. You pay a service fee in addition to the state's filing fee. Of the seven services we compared, our pick is Starcycle: a short online intake provides a quote for a simple LLC without a call. An LLC with contracts, subscriptions or a registration in another state gets a dedicated team member to track renewal dates and schedule cancellations.

Your LLC may still have a bank account, an EIN and software subscriptions to deal with. The seven services differ most in how much they handle beyond the state filing, so that is the focus of this comparison.

Key takeaways

  • Every service below files the state document, and the IRS side is separate: the IRS can't close your business account until you've filed all necessary returns and paid all taxes owed, so confirm your return list with your CPA.
  • On October 19, 2026, the service fees published on the providers' own pages ran from $75 to $899, plus the state's fee.
  • Compare four things before price: the IRS account, other states, the contracts and subscriptions still running, and who checks your filing before it goes out.

Can you dissolve an LLC online?

In some states, yes. Texas, for example, lists a File Online option for its Certificate of Termination on the Secretary of State's business forms page. The filing office, the document's name and the fee vary by state, and an online dissolution service prepares and files that state document for you. The IRS side is separate: you write to the IRS to close the business account, and it can't close it until every return is filed and every tax is paid.

Our guide to how to dissolve an LLC puts the steps in order, and our state guides link each portal.

What an online LLC dissolution service files, and what stays with you

Every service below files the state document, but that filing alone does not cancel a software subscription or close a tax account. Compare each provider's scope against the full list:

Quote card from the IRS: you must file a final return for the year you close your business.
  • State filing: the state's dissolution document, such as articles of dissolution or a certificate of cancellation or termination, depending on the state.
  • IRS: a final return with the "final return" box checked, and a letter asking the IRS to close the business account; our guide to canceling an EIN with the IRS lists what to send.
  • State tax accounts: sales tax and payroll withholding, in each state where your LLC opened them.
  • Other states: a withdrawal in each state where your LLC registered to do business.
  • Active commitments: the registered agent, subscriptions, software contracts, a lease, the bank account and the card.
  • Records: filed documents, returns and closing letters, kept together for next year's questions.

Confirm the tax filings with your CPA. If you have debt, talk to your lawyer.

How we compared online LLC dissolution services

We read each service's own pages on October 19, 2026, and compared them on six points:

  1. What it files with the state: dissolution, cancellation or withdrawal.
  2. The IRS account: who closes it or notifies the IRS.
  3. Other states: withdrawals and filings outside the home state.
  4. Active commitments: contracts, subscriptions and the dates they renew.
  5. Who checks the work: a person who reviews the filing before it goes out.
  6. Price: a published price, or a quote before you commit.

We left out review scores, filing counts and turnaround promises we couldn't check on a provider's own page.

Why Starcycle is our pick

  • Among the seven services reviewed on October 19, 2026, only Starcycle's pages name subscription cancellation and contract renewal tracking. They are also the only pages to describe an automatic good-standing check across all 50 states as part of key-date tracking.
  • We go through what you're paying for and cancel it on a timeline that avoids early-termination fees and auto-renewals.
  • Drafts are generated quickly, and a team member reviews and approves every letter and filing before it is sent.

You can request a quote online.

The best online LLC dissolution services in 2026, one by one

After our pick, the services are ordered by how much their own pages cover, then by price.

Starcycle

We recommend Starcycle for an LLC with active software contracts, subscriptions or registrations in other states. For a simple case, a short intake of mostly yes-or-no questions leads to a quote. Complex cases receive a dashboard and a dedicated team member.

Key features

  • A tailored action plan, and key-date tracking for franchise tax due dates, filing windows and contract renewal dates, plus an automatic good-standing check across all 50 states.
  • Contract and subscription cancellation, timed to avoid early-termination fees and auto-renewals.
  • Document management and the state filings, in every state you're registered in.
  • Final returns coordinated with a CPA.

Strengths

  • If your case is straightforward, such as a single-member LLC in one state with nothing still running, you get a quote and can move straight to closing it out, with no calls.
  • Its published scope combines subscription cancellation, contract renewal tracking and a 50-state good-standing check. None of the other six services' pages described this combination in our October 19, 2026 review.

Limitations

  • Operational support for shutdowns, not a substitute for legal, tax or financial advice.
  • Legal questions go to your lawyer, and we can introduce you to lawyers and accountants.

Pricing

  • A quote online for a simple case; an upfront quote for a complex one, with current pricing on starcycle.ai.

LegalZoom

If you formed the company with LegalZoom, its dissolution page offers three packages, from a form you fill in online to a dedicated Business Manager.

Key features

  • Standard Dissolution: LegalZoom prepares and files your Articles of Dissolution after a few questions online, with specialists to answer questions.
  • Business Dissolution Manager: a dedicated manager handles the dissolution from research and planning to confirming official closure, including outstanding annual reports and reinstatements where required.
  • Rush Filing adds expedited review, preparation and submission.

Strengths

  • LegalZoom's managed tiers include unlimited phone and email access to your Business Manager and an evaluation of your Secretary of State status.
  • If a filing is rejected or incorrect because of LegalZoom's error, its page says it corrects it with the agency at no additional cost.

Limitations

  • Its FAQ lists notifying the IRS and canceling the EIN as your next step after the state filing. It also lists contract cancellation among the owner's wind-up tasks.

Pricing

  • LegalZoom lists Standard Dissolution at $299, Business Dissolution Manager at $799 and the manager with Rush Filing at $899, each plus state filing fees.

Dissolve a Business

Dissolve a Business calls itself a Business Dissolution Desk and sells two packages: one for the state filing, one for the state and the IRS together.

Key features

  • State Filing: a call with a specialist, the owners' resolution to dissolve, the state filing and a personalized checklist for the parts it doesn't file.
  • Complete Closure: closes your IRS business account, adds a final-return checklist and Form 966 guidance, and deregisters state tax accounts, with franchise tax clearance where your state requires it.
  • Also in Complete Closure: DBA cancellation, registered agent termination and foreign registrations withdrawn.

Strengths

  • One package covers the IRS account, state tax accounts and withdrawals from other states, with live status tracking and free re-filing if the state rejects anything.

Limitations

  • Its fee doesn't include state taxes, penalties or interest your company already owes, and contracts and subscriptions aren't named in either package.

Pricing

  • Dissolve a Business lists State Filing at $99 and Complete Closure at $399, each plus your state's filing fee.

ClickDissolve

ClickDissolve pairs AI-assisted software, which builds and tracks your closure workflow, with a filing specialist who reviews your case before documents are submitted.

Key features

  • The paperwork prepared, and the applicable state and IRS closure filings handled for you.
  • Task and deadline tracking, document organization, case status updates and certified notices sent to creditors.
  • A notice asking the IRS to deactivate the EIN, when you tick that box in your order.

Strengths

  • A flat fee, and its FAQ says there are no contracts or other extra charges.

Limitations

  • Its site says it isn't a law firm, and contracts and subscriptions aren't named in its plan.

Pricing

  • A $109 all-inclusive flat rate, plus government fees.

InCorp

InCorp is a registered agent and compliance company whose dissolution page covers three ways out of a state: dissolution, cancellation and withdrawal.

Key features

  • It confirms the entity's standing, prepares the document, coordinates any tax clearance the state requires, files it and delivers the state's confirmation to your account.
  • It confirms the exact cost with you before anything is filed.

Strengths

  • A withdrawal from another state is a filing it prepares at the same fee, and the state's fee is passed through at cost.

Limitations

  • Its dissolution page doesn't name the IRS account, contracts or subscriptions.

Pricing

  • A $99 InCorp service fee per filing, plus the state's fee.

Bizee

Bizee, a business formation platform, sells dissolution through an online order form.

Key features

  • An online order for Articles of Dissolution, filed with the state.

Strengths

  • Its menu puts dissolution beside its registered agent, annual report and reinstatement services, which helps if Bizee already handles your paperwork.

Limitations

  • Its order page describes the Articles of Dissolution filing; ask Bizee what else the order includes.

Pricing

  • $199 plus the state fee.

DissolveYourBusiness.com

DissolveYourBusiness.com, from Fast Filing Group LLC, keeps to the state filing: you fill out one page, it files with your state, and the certificate arrives by email.

Key features

  • The state dissolution filing for any entity type, in every state except North Carolina and Wyoming.
  • Separate filings for a foreign withdrawal and a DBA cancellation, at the same flat fee.

Strengths

  • The state fee is itemized at checkout, beside the flat service fee.

Limitations

  • Its FAQ says it handles the state dissolution filing only, not tax returns, and recommends your accountant or tax preparer.

Pricing

  • $75 flat per filing, plus the state's fee.

What online LLC dissolution services cost

A $2,500 quote and a $75 filing fee may cover very different amounts of work. Every published price above is a service fee, with the state's fee charged separately. On October 19, 2026, prices ranged from DissolveYourBusiness.com's $75 filing to LegalZoom's $899 managed package with rush filing. Our guide to what it costs to dissolve an LLC in each state lists the state fees.

How to choose an online LLC dissolution service

Choose based on what your LLC still needs to close, including bank accounts, vendor agreements and state registrations. Discuss unpaid invoices and other debts with your lawyer. We recommend Starcycle when contracts, subscriptions, renewal dates and other states need attention. Other services may suit narrower needs:

Rows diagram: which LLC dissolution service fits which case, with Starcycle for contracts, subscriptions and other states.
  • You formed with LegalZoom or Bizee: both sell a dissolution order on the same site.
  • You want the IRS step in a fixed-price package: Dissolve a Business's Complete Closure and ClickDissolve's plan both name it.
  • You want one state filing priced on its own: InCorp and DissolveYourBusiness.com publish a per-filing fee.

Ask every service the same questions, including us, and get the answers in writing:

  • What does the price include, and which state fees are additional?
  • Who closes the IRS account, or do you give me the letter to send?
  • Which states will you file in, and will you withdraw my LLC from the others?
  • What happens to the subscriptions and contracts still running, and who checks the filing?
  • What stays with my lawyer or CPA?

If you're closing a corporation, or a company with employees or investors, our guide to business shutdown services compares the services built for that. If you'd rather run the closure yourself, our list of business shutdown software and tools compares the checklists and platforms.

Closing your LLC well

Before requesting quotes, list every state registration, tax account, subscription and contract, including renewal dates and the registered agent. Use that list to check each quote, ours included, so you can see exactly which tasks the price covers.

When you're ready, Starcycle can quote a simple case online, and for a complex one you can talk to a team member about a dated plan and an upfront quote. We can also introduce you to lawyers and accountants.

FAQs about LLC dissolution services

Does LegalZoom charge on top of the state filing fee?

Yes. Each package on LegalZoom's dissolution page, from $299 to $899, is listed with "+ state filing fees" beside the price.

Can ZenBusiness or Northwest Registered Agent dissolve my LLC?

On October 19, 2026, we found no dissolution order page or price on ZenBusiness's or Northwest Registered Agent's sites, so ask their support what they offer.

What happens after the state approves the dissolution?

The state filing is one item on your closing list, and the IRS account, the state tax accounts and any other states where your LLC registered are separate items. If a notice arrives after the approval, contact the agency that sent it and your CPA.

Is a dissolution service worth it, or should I file it myself?

You can file with the state yourself, with no service fee; the state's fees and any taxes owed still apply. A service's fee buys the preparation and whatever else its page lists, so compare that against your closing list.
