Now for the main event. Go to the South Carolina Secretary of State’s website—don’t call them, they hate that. Download the Articles of Dissolution form. It’s a one-page document. You’ll need your LLC’s exact name, date of formation, and a signature. The form asks for a “statement that the LLC has been dissolved by the vote of members.” You wrote that vote down, right? Good job, pajama-voter.
Mail the form to the Secretary of State’s office in Columbia. Include a check for $110 (as of 2026). You can also file online if you’re fancy, but snail mail feels more ceremonial. Wait 7–10 business days. You get back a Certificate of Dissolution—picture a golden ticket to freedom in the form of a PDF.
But Wait… There’s More (Literally)
Did you have a registered agent? You can cancel that service now. Did you have a trademark in SC? Abandon it. Did you have a domain name? Let it expire or sell it. Don’t forget the unpaid vendors—that invoice from the local printer who did your 500 “Pet Pamper” flyers? Fax it and pay it. SC law holds members personally liable if the LLC is dissolved with unpaid business debts. Don’t be that person.

Also, cancel your business insurance. Not immediately, though. Keep it active until the dissolution is official. Why? Because if your old pet-sitting car bumps someone on the way to Goodwill, you want coverage. Once the certificate is in hand, cancel the policy.
