This is the year that Flink, Inc wraps up business and moves into retirement mode. There's more to retiring than I first imagined when I made the decision. Here's some of the major tasks I did, although I didn't do them in this order.
- File state and federal paperwork to close the corporation
- Cancel business insurance and license
- Cancel business phone number and bank account
- File final business tax return
- File paperwork to close federal and state tax id numbers (after final tax return is filed)
- Purge my office of older paperwork and records (keeping only the needed items for the next few years)
- Update Google listing, Facebook page (for the business)
- Update LinkedIn profile
Here are some links I found useful:
- Nolo Press: How to Dissolve a Corporation in California
- IRS: Closing a business
I look forward to the last of these tasks getting completed in 2025.
