Hi Ken,<br>
<br>
What a corporation can and cannot do when it is not in good standing
is a matter of state law. My expectation is that it can only defend
itself, not bring offensive actions, but you need to check the
state's laws.<br>
<br>
Also, restoring good standing is generally fairly simple, so it will
only be a bump in the road, not a roadblock. But it might buy you
time if that would be helpful to your case.<br>

Can a corporation not in good standing with its state of
