# Administrative dissolution

**Administrative dissolution:** Administrative dissolution is a state’s dissolution of a business entity, such as a dental professional corporation or LLC, for failing a statutory requirement such as filing its annual report.

Administrative dissolution is a state’s dissolution of a business entity, such as a dental professional corporation or LLC, for failing a statutory requirement such as filing its annual report.

Because it follows a missed state annual report, dissolutions cluster after each state’s filing deadline. A dissolution is a corporate signal, not proof of closure: entities can usually be reinstated, and some owners let an old entity lapse after moving the practice into a new one. DDSIntel publishes dissolution activity only as an aggregate count.
