Reinstatements

Failure to file annual or biennial reports in a timely manner, or to maintain a registered agent in the state of Vermont, will result in the termination of a business entity's good standing with the Secretary of State's Office. This is indicated by the business status reading either terminated or inactive depending on how long the business entity has been out of compliance.

Only corporations, nonprofits, cooperatives, limited liability companies (LLC/PLC/L3C), limited liability partnerships (LLP), and mutual benefit enterprises (MBE) are eligible to file for reinstatement of good standing.
