How to close your LLC in Arkansas
Wind up the business (settle debts, distribute assets), make sure you're current on annual reports and any franchise/privilege taxes, then file Articles of Dissolution (or Termination/Cancellation) with the Arkansas Secretary of State for $45. Some states require a tax-clearance certificate before they'll accept the filing.
Why bother formally dissolving?
If you just stop filing, your Arkansas LLC stays legally alive and keeps racking up annual report fees and taxes — often with penalties — until the state administratively dissolves it. Filing dissolution stops the clock and ends your ongoing obligations. See what Arkansas charges to maintain an LLC in our Arkansas LLC cost calculator.
