The Consequences of Losing Good Standing Status
The primary reason a corporation loses its good standing status is that it lets annual reports or franchise tax obligations lapse. However, there are many ways this can happen, and many reasons these issues can remain undetected until the worst possible time – for example, at the closing table for an expansion or financing deal.

Business Dissolution & Withdrawal
Officially dissolve your company or withdraw from a state where you had foreign qualified.
Protect Your Good Standing Status
When business owners choose to form a corporation, LLC, or LP, they must file the proper formation papers with their home state and any other states in which they register to do business. The states then essentially grant the right to conduct business as a statutory business entity with all the advantages this brings. To maintain this right, the business becomes subject to a host of business laws and requirements. These include appointing a registered agent, making timely filings of required forms, and paying fees and/or franchise taxes.
