Maine Cancellation of Authority To Do Business is the process of withdrawing a company’s authority to do business in the state of Maine. This process is typically initiated when a company has gone out of business and no longer wishes to remain registered in the state of Maine. There are two main types of Maine Cancellation of Authority To Do Business: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary cancellation occurs when a company submits a written request to the Maine Secretary of State requesting to cancel their status as a registered business in the state. Involuntary cancellation occurs when the Maine Secretary of State cancels the company’s registration due to failure to comply with state statutes or regulations. In either case, the Maine Secretary of State must approve the cancellation, and the company must submit all necessary paperwork before the cancellation is complete.
