What does New Hampshire call a company that missed its filings?
“Administrative Dissolution” (the statute: the secretary of state may “administratively dissolve” the LLC). The SOS business-status list also uses “Not in Good Standing” for an entity that owes reports and/or fees or whose agent has resigned (before dissolution), and “Administrative Suspension” (suspension for failure to file reports/fees or maintain an agent).
