How to Restore Your Small Business to Good Standing

Updated: Sep 12, 2023




It can be difficult to keep your small business running smoothly, and even more difficult to get back on track after you've experienced some trouble. If you're looking for information on how to restore your small business to good standing, you've come to the right place! In this blog post, we will discuss the steps that you need to take in order to get your business up and running again. We'll also provide tips on how to avoid future problems.

The first step in getting your business back on track is to file for reinstatement. This process can be tricky, so it's important to consult with an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the paperwork and ensure that everything is done correctly. In order to qualify for reinstatement, your business must meet certain requirements, including:

  • Being in good standing with the state

  • Paying all taxes and fees owed to the state

  • Having no outstanding judgments or liens against it

If your business meets these requirements, you can file for reinstatement by submitting a form called Articles of Reinstatement. This document will outline the reasons for your business' suspension, as well as the steps you've taken to address the problems that led to your suspension.

Once your reinstatement is approved, you'll need to take some additional steps in order to get your business back up and running. You'll need to file for new licenses and permits, and update your company's information with the state. You may also need to update your business' website or social media accounts so that customers know you're still open for business.

If you've already taken care of these tasks, then it's time to start working on marketing! The best way to do this is through content creation and SEO (search engine optimization). Content creation means creating blog posts, articles, videos, and other types of content that will help your business get found online. SEO involves using keywords in these pieces so people can find them easily when they're searching for what you offer on search engines like Google or Bing.

For example, if you run a local bakery called "The Bread Box," then one way to create SEO-friendly content would be to write blog posts about bread baking tips, or how to make the perfect sandwich. You could also create a video tutorial on how to make a loaf of bread from scratch.

By following these simple steps, you can get your small business back up and running again in no time! And don't forget to continue marketing so that customers know you're still open for business.

Steps to Reinstatement (cont'd) In order to get your small business backup and running again, it's important that you take the time to file all necessary paperwork with the state. This includes filing articles of incorporation or organization if they haven't been filed before, applying for new licenses and permits if needed, updating your company's information with the state (such as address), changing registered agents on file with any applicable government agencies like Secretary of State’s office or Department Labor & Industries. Once these have been taken care of then marketing should start up again so that customers know you're still open for business. This can be done through content creation (blogging, videos, articles) as well as SEO tactics to ensure that potential customers can find your business easily when searching the internet.
