The Maine Certificate of Cancellation of Articles of Organization is a document used to formally dissolve a business entity in the state of Maine. The document must be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State in order to officially dissolve the business. The form must include the name of the business, the date of its formation, and the reason for dissolution. There are three different types of Maine Certificate of Cancellation of Articles of Organization, depending on the circumstances of the dissolution: voluntary dissolution, administrative dissolution, and court-ordered dissolution. Voluntary dissolution is the most common type of dissolution, and occurs when the business owners decide to dissolve the business on their own. Administrative dissolution is initiated by the state when the business fails to meet certain requirements, such as filing annual reports or paying taxes. Court-ordered dissolution is initiated by a court when the business has engaged in illegal activities or failed to comply with a court order.
