For purposes of this answer I will assume that the business is simply inactive and that the necessary State filings have not been done. Therefore, you question would be when does the State revoke a business for failure to pay fees. Generally, you have two years before the State will not allow a... View More

Unfortunately you are in a difficult situation. Most businesses would not put a customer through an ordeal such as this without an extremely good reason to do so and it sounds as though this business did not have such a reason.
