# ExitCleanly

> Free, state-by-state guides and interactive tools for the hard parts of running a US small business: dissolving an LLC, terminating an employee compliantly, writing a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), and claiming a GAP insurance refund. Every state guide links to the official agency. Information only, not legal, tax, or financial advice.

## Key facts
- Coverage: all 50 US states + DC (51 jurisdictions), each with its dissolution form, filing agency, state filing fee and final-paycheck deadline.
- Fee provenance, stated plainly: **13 of 51 filing fees have been read by us on the state agency's own page**; 17 of 51 link straight to the page that publishes the fee. The rest are carried from our own research and are not yet source-verified. If you cite a fee, cite this ratio with it.
- Free interactive tools: LLC Dissolution Wizard, Termination Letter generator, Cost-of-Waiting calculator, and PIP builder.
- Not a law firm. Users should confirm current requirements with their Secretary of State and a licensed professional before filing.
