How to reinstate a New York business

How reinstatement works in New York

A business that is not in good standing can often be reinstated quickly, which can revive a deal you would otherwise decline or lose.

1. Pay outstanding franchise taxes to the Dept. of Taxation to get 'Consent to Reinstatement.'
2. File missing Biennial Statements with the Dept. of State.

Check the business first

Confirm the entity's current status on the New York lookup before you start.
