How do I officially close my business in Pennsylvania?

How to properly dissolve or terminate your business in PA depends on many factors. In all cases, you will need to satisfy all the debts of the business, obtain tax clearance certificates from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and the Pennsylvania Department of Labor, and file a Certificate of Termination or Articles of Dissolution, whichever the case may be. Failure to close your business properly can put you and your business at risk – both financially and legally.
