In my previous post, I talked about the different ways an Oklahoma limited liability company can end. Once it has ended, there are several things you need to do to “wind up” up the company.
1. Pay Creditors. Payment, or adequate provision for payment, shall be made to creditors, including to the extent permitted by law, members who are creditors, in satisfaction of liabilities of the limited liability company;
2. Distribution to Members. After creditors are paid, the company can distribute what is left to the members. The first distribution in this category is to members or former members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions under the Oklahoma Limited Liability Company Act; and then to members and former members first for the return of their contributions and second respecting their membership interests, in proportions in which the members share in distributions.
3. File Articles of Dissolution. Once you have completed the preliminary steps required for winding up the company, you file a document called “Articles of Dissolution” with the Oklahoma Secretary of State.
