Closing your Stripe payments account doesn't close or dissolve your Stripe Atlas company with Delaware.

If you are planning to continue operating your company but would like to close your Stripe account, please take the following steps:

1. Migrate your registered agent service: When you close your Stripe account we cancel your registered agent subscription on your behalf so you are not charged upon renewal. However, all Delaware companies are required to maintain a registered agent. If you would like to renew your service, you can follow up with LegalInc (or any other provider of your choice), but we will not be able to renew your subscription moving forward. You can contact Legalinc at atlas-support@legalinc.com. If you plan to change your registered agent please report this to the State of Delaware.

If you plan to close your Stripe account and no longer operate the company, please take the following steps:

1. Dissolve your company: Even if you are not operating your company anymore, you may still be obligated to file taxes every year until it’s dissolved. A final tax filing may also be required for the year in which your company dissolves. It’s a good idea to work with an accountant to confirm your tax obligations. Atlas partners with three solutions, but you can use any service you'd like:
   1. Elevate, an online legal services firm, connects Stripe Atlas users with lawyers who can help with company dissolutions. $549 dissolution plus guidance on how to pay any outstanding taxes owed.
   2. Legalinc, the provider of Atlas company's registered agent services, offers $99 dissolution plus guidance on how to pay any outstanding taxes owed.
   3. SimpleClosure, a venture backed startup, helps companies shut down in just days or weeks by combining technology, automation, and an experienced team of lawyers and accountants. Atlas founders get 10% off.
2. Download your formation documents from the company section of your Stripe dashboard.
3. Contact your bank to close your bank account.
4. Close your Stripe account. When you close your Stripe account we cancel your registered agent subscription on your behalf so you are not charged upon renewal.
