Hi i am looking for an entity whether its active or not and its member companies.The entity is WMI Liquidating Trust.
XXXX At 1:30:25 PM
Hello, one moment while I check on that for you.
YYYY At 1:30:53 PM
Sure thank you.
XXXX At 1:33:50 PM
So this entity is licensed with the WA. DOR however the business in not registered with WA SOS.
YYYY At 1:35:15 PM
How does it work?.I am not a business person.If you can explain that would be great.Is it still active?.Why is it with WA DOR and not with SOS?.
XXXX At 1:37:16 PM
DOR handles business licensing. So this tells me they obtained their business license through DOR. SOS handles business registration. We don't determine if businesses need to register with SOS - it depends on the structure of the business. So, the entity is active with DOR but not SOS.
YYYY At 1:38:56 PM
Thank you.So that means they are actively filing taxes to DOR?.Do they have any member companies in WA?.
XXXX At 1:40:25 PM
It's hard to say if they are actively paying taxes to DOR. Here is the UBI number for that entity: 603-195-774. You can reach out to DOR regarding this entity if you want more info. DOR can be reached by calling: 360-705-6705
