If your entity has been suspended/forfeited by both the Secretary of State and the Franchise Tax Board, the entity can be revived by: Filing a current Statement of Information and obtaining a Secretary of State Proposed Relief Letter from suspension or forfeiture.
However, entities that don't stay on top of their compliance obligations can lose their good standing status. The corporation or LLC will instead be considered “delinquent”, “void”, “suspended”, “forfeited”, or “dissolved”.
