If you formed an LLC or corporation that's now inactive, dissolved, or expired, Broadview LLCs will make you a cash offer for your ownership interest. We handle everything — the paperwork, the filings, even reactivation if it's needed.
No cost. No obligation. Every offer is preliminary and non-binding until you sign an agreement.
If you received a letter from Broadview LLCs, it's because public state filings show a company registered in your name that appears to be inactive. We did our homework in the public record — and should you be the legal owner, we'd like to make an offer to purchase it.
Why? Because it's often easier and cheaper to acquire the name and structure of an existing company than to start one from scratch. Our model is the same one used by firms that buy portfolios of receivables: we target hundreds of inactive entities all over the U.S. and buy them at reasonable prices — reasonable precisely because they're inactive. Once in a while one pays off. Some we make money on; some we lose on. The volume is the strategy.
There's no cost and no obligation at any point. And the more company documents you can dig up — articles of organization, operating agreement, EIN letters, old tax returns — the faster the deal moves, and often the better it gets.
"Active or inactive is of no concern to us — if reactivation is needed, we handle it. That's routine for us."
A variety of ordinary business reasons — the same ones that make it easier to buy an existing company than to start a new one from scratch.
A company name that's been registered and used frees up branding and trademark possibilities that a brand-new filing can't offer.
An entity with a formation date and a history reads differently than one filed yesterday. For many purposes, age itself has value.
Formation documents, an EIN, a charter already on file with the state — structure that would otherwise have to be built from zero.
Some companies carry licenses, permits, or registrations that may transfer with the entity — a head start we're happy to pay for.
A company that once operated may have banking and credit history attached to it. That footprint can be useful to a new owner.
We buy in bulk. Not every company we purchase works out, and that's fine — it's priced in. Yours doesn't need to be special to be worth an offer.
Not sure what state your old company is in? Tell us its name and where it was formed. We'll check the public record at no cost and tell you plainly whether we're a buyer — and at what price.
We keep it deliberately simple. You never pay us anything, and nothing is binding until a purchase agreement is signed by both sides.
Reply to our letter or reach out directly. Tell us about your company — its name, where it was formed, and whatever you remember about it.
We review the public record and any documents you can provide, then send you a written, non-binding offer. Counterproposals are welcome.
Every transfer document, prepared by us at our cost — including reactivation filings if the company needs them. You review it all, with counsel if you like.
You sign, and we release payment right away — usually through a neutral third party. Then the company, and everything about it, becomes our concern.
How long does it take? Typically 15–60 days, depending mostly on records. The more of the company's paperwork you can provide, the faster we can close — but even with nothing but the public record, we can usually get there.
An inactive company is a name on a registry — plus, in some states, annual-report notices and franchise-tax ghosts that follow you around. Selling closes the book.
We prepare every document at our cost. We handle the filings, the state, the reactivation if one is needed. Your job is mostly to read and sign.
Most owners never imagined anyone would have a financial interest in an inactive company. This is a positive surprise, not a catch — money for something you'd written off entirely.
"We buy inactive companies the way some firms buy portfolios of receivables: hundreds of them, all over the country, at reasonable prices — because they're inactive. Most sit in the pile. Once in a while one turns out to be a gold nugget. That's the business we've chosen, and it's why we can pay you today for a company doing nothing."
No — and you shouldn't take our word for it. Verify us independently: we're a real acquisition company with real offices in St. Louis, Missouri and Danville, California. Look us up, call our main line, or have your attorney contact us. We never ask for banking details or any payment from you — we're the ones paying.
Because it's often easier and cheaper to acquire the name and structure of an existing company than to start one from scratch. We get paid to buy ownership interests in inactive entities — it's a lot like firms that buy portfolios of receivables. We target hundreds all over the U.S., buy them at reasonable prices because they're inactive, and once in a while one pays off. Some we make money on; some we lose on. It's a volume business, and the risk is priced in.
Candidly: not much, in most cases. Most inactive entities have little or no value, and some carry debts or liabilities that we'd be taking on — so prices reflect that. What we offer is real money for something that's currently worth nothing to you, with every offer in writing and counterproposals genuinely welcome.
Usually, yes. Active or inactive is of no concern to us — if reactivation is needed, we handle it. Reinstating a dissolved or administratively lapsed entity is routine work for us; it's part of why we exist. Age and dormancy are reasons we're interested, not obstacles.
A variety of things. Some we reactivate and use for our own ventures. Some we season and resell. And honestly, some never amount to anything at all — by design, it's a portfolio. We buy enough of them that the ones that work out carry the ones that don't.
We can still often proceed from the public record alone — it just takes longer. More documents mean a faster close and a smoother deal: articles of organization, the operating agreement, EIN letters, old tax returns, anything you kept. Dig up what you can; we'll work with whatever exists.
Call us and speak with a real member of our acquisitions team — no scripts, no pressure. Or send the details through the form and we'll respond within one business day.
