Reinstate an LLC in Florida: a card payment and 48 hours.
The company lapsed, the state acted, and now the way back runs through the Division of Corporations: the reinstatement, $100 plus $138.75 per missed year, plus the catch-up the state expects. Florida reverses its September dissolutions online, in about two days, for the sum of what was missed. Here is the whole comeback, in order, and how to make sure there is never a second one.
The reinstatement prepared and filed with the state, back filings caught up, so the company returns with clean standing.

Florida prices its comeback like it prices everything, precisely: $100 for the reinstatement plus $138.75 for every missed annual report year, filed online, processed in 24 to 48 hours. One missed year is $238.75; the fourth-Friday dissolution that felt dramatic reverses with a card payment and a morning’s patience.
Every missed annual report year at $138.75, plus the $100 reinstatement fee, all in one online filing. Florida wants the arithmetic complete, not a narrative.
The state side starts at $100 plus $138.75 per missed year for the reinstatement, plus the back filings and their fees. When we handle it, the total is the state fees plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the back filings prepared and the recurring deadline put on autopilot so the lapse never repeats.

Four steps back, and one that keeps you back
Florida’s comeback runs in sequence: confirm the status, cure the cause, catch up the filings, then the reinstatement for $100 plus $138.75 per missed year with the Division of Corporations. The window matters here, ten years, filed online: florida allows entities administratively dissolved for missed reports to reinstate online within ten years, one of the longest and most convenient windows in the country, processed in a day or two. Done in order, standing returns and the record moves on.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Move while the cure is simple: we prepare and file the reinstatement with the back filings caught up, and the company returns with clean standing.
Banks and counterparties see the lapsed status until the cure files, and nothing else about the company has actually changed. The catch-up-plus-application path is the fastest route back to a clean record; we expedite exactly this situation routinely.
The deadline that started this never stops coming. Put the recurring filing on autopilot and the lapse never repeats.
September dissolved us, a Tuesday brought us back
The Tampa company fell to the fourth-Friday dissolution after a missed May, and I braced for a saga. Florida had other plans: reinstatement online, $100 plus the missed year’s $138.75, processed in two days. The drama was entirely in my head; the state just wanted the arithmetic. Florida dissolves on a schedule and reinstates on a card. Autopilot the May 1 and skip both.

How do I reinstate an LLC in Florida?
Cure the cause, catch up the filings, and submit the reinstatement with the Division of Corporations, $100 plus $138.75 per missed year plus the back fees. Standing returns when it is accepted, and the company continues rather than starting over. We handle the whole sequence as part of reinstatement service.
How much does it cost to reinstate a Florida LLC?
The application is $100 plus $138.75 per missed year, plus the back filings and their fees, the real total depends on how long the lapse ran. When we handle it, the total is the state fees plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the back filings prepared and the recurring deadline put on autopilot so the lapse never repeats.
Does Florida require tax clearance to reinstate?
No: Florida adds no tax-clearance step to the reinstatement, the application and the back filings carry it. Final accuracy still matters, the state cross-checks what you owe, which is why we prepare the catch-up filings together with the application.
How long do I have to reinstate my Florida LLC?
Ten years, filed online: Florida allows entities administratively dissolved for missed reports to reinstate online within ten years, one of the longest and most convenient windows in the country, processed in a day or two.
Should I reinstate or just form a new LLC?
Reinstate, in most cases: the cure preserves the formation date, the EIN, the contracts, the name, and the history, while a new entity resets all of it and leaves the old company’s loose ends dangling. Re-forming only wins when the back fees exceed the value of continuity, we run that math with you before filing either way.
What should I do after the company is reinstated?
Confirm the standing shows clean on the record, tell the bank and any counterparties who saw the lapse, and put the recurring deadline on autopilot, the filing that started this comes due again on schedule, and the second lapse is never cheaper than the first.
Can File.Business reinstate my Florida LLC for me?
Yes: we confirm the status, cure the cause, prepare the back filings, and submit the application, then put the recurring deadline on autopilot so the lapse never repeats. When we handle it, the total is the state fees plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the back filings prepared and the recurring deadline put on autopilot so the lapse never repeats.
