Welcome to the Montana Secretary of State’s Business Services Division
“Your employee, Emily, is a very competent, courteous, polite employee, who graciously helped me with trouble in changing our two family corporations into our grandson’s name. These changes were critical to his banking and other transactions. Emily was very good natured and pleasant the lengthy time that I was consulting her. I think she deserves a big “ATTA GIRL.” It has been a pleasure to have her make my day!” – Gary Gollehon
“I just wanted to commend Kelley for the great job she did helping me on the phone today.

The link led me to a very user-friendly site which allowed me to update, file and submit payment for the 2022 Annual Report in just minutes.
