Reasons Why You Need To File An Amendment

The filing of an amendment is applicable to various instances. Generally, your company has to file the proper paperwork with the state if the changes that you want to adopt will affect the business structure of your organization.

A. Changing The Company Name –

LLCs

If a Montana LLC decides to change its company name, it has to go through different processes. You have to update all the official records of the company, as well as those with the state and government. But, before implementing the change, you will have to inform the Secretary of State of your plan. You can do this by filing an amendment.

Corporations

The same thing is true for Montana corporations. If you want to change the name of your company, you have to go through the amendment process. You will have to make sure the state is aware of your plan. Additionally, you will also have to change the name of your company on legal documents and official records with the state and government.

B. Changing Members Of The Business –

LLCs

When you organized your LLC in Montana, you submitted documents to register your business operations. Among the things you provided were a list of names, addresses, and contact information of the members and/or managers of your company. You have to inform the state if certain pieces of information changed. You can do this through an amendment.

Corporations

Likewise, corporations in Montana also submitted formation documents to the state to formalize their registration. These pieces of information include a list of names, addresses, and contact information of the officers and directors of your company. So, make sure to report to the state any changes to these items. Submit an amendment form to the state.

C. Changing Address Related To The Business –

LLCs

Moving to a new location may help an LLC expand its business. However, you have to make sure that the state knows if you change your operating address and/or registered office.

Corporations

Corporations also need to make sure that the records of the state are up to date. Any changes to the operating address and/or registered office must be reported through an amendment. Doing this will ensure that you receive the legal documents, such as those related to your filing and tax obligations.

D. Changing Contact Information –

Aside from your company address, the contact information of your Montana LLC is a way for the Secretary of State to reach you. Make sure to inform the state of any changes. The amendment form includes a section for the phone number and email address of your authorized representative.

Corporations

Montana corporations also need to keep the Secretary of State up to date about their business contact information. Not only will it update your company’s records with the state, but it will also ensure that you receive legal queries related to your business. Fill out the section on the amendment form for the phone number and email address of the authorized representative of the company.

E. Changing The Number Of Shares That A Corporation Is Authorized To Issue – Since LLCs in Montana cannot issue stock, they do not have to worry about this change.
