Company graveyard 300x200In honor of Halloween, the following blog not only tells of how to resurrect a company that has been resigned on, it is also a parody of the infamous Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.” Please enjoy this fun and informational poem.

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary” (Poe,742),
I sprang to my den and opened my laptop.
While I typed, barely breathing, suddenly there came a feeling
A feeling that my company was in danger, danger of illegally running.
“It is! ” I shouted as the research ceased, “It is illegally running!”
Only this, and nothing more.

“I distinctly remember it was in the bleak December” (Poe, 724),
That my registered agent invoiced me for services rendered.
Upon not paying, they emailed me saying- I had to pay or formally close
Those were my options, they would resign if neither were chosen,
nly those, and nothing more.

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing’’ (Poe, 742),
How am I to correct this madness.
What kind of penance will I pay  for my sin?
Call my registered agent, they’ll show me where to begin,
Only this, and nothing more.

“This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing” (Poe, 743)
A renaming or changing of registered agent should be filed
But only if the thirty day window has not expired
Alas the window has lapsed, and I must file a revival
A costly documentation, but needed for survival
Not only this, but something more.

“And the [parchment], sad, uncertain rustling of each [page]” (Poe, 742),
The forms are just the start, past due taxes too are due
Once documents are filed and taxes are paid
My company will rise again and money will be made
Only this, and nothing more.

“Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,” (Poe, 742),
I took action to reinstate my company, with help from my registered agent thankfully
They filed my revival and settled my dues, then an email from the state brought comforting news
My company is resurrected and operating legally
Careless in my company’s dealings I will be, nevermore.
