No.

How long does it take the state to process the filing?

How long before someone can take your business name?

Two years after a company is dissolved, the business name can be requested by another entity.

What is the penalty if you do not dissolve properly and just don’t file your annual reports?

If you do not file your annual report or respond to your delinquency notice within 60 days, your business entity status will be administratively dissolved and you will have to go through reinstatement, filing missed annual reports.
