A registered agent is a person or business entity that accepts legal documents, official correspondence, and service of process on behalf of your Montana business. They maintain a physical address in the state and are available during standard business hours to receive documents.
Montana law generally expects every LLC and corporation to designate a registered agent. This ensures the state and legal parties have a reliable way to deliver important documents like tax notices, lawsuits, and compliance correspondence to your business.
Individuals serving as registered agents must be Montana residents aged 18 or older. Business entities must be authorized to do business in Montana and in good standing. Montana follows the Model Registered Agents Act, which sets these standards. Importantly, a business entity cannot serve as its own registered agent.
No, Montana law does not allow a business entity to serve as its own registered agent. You'll need to designate either an individual Montana resident who meets the age and availability requirements, or a professional registered agent service like ours.
We receive service of process (lawsuit notifications), official correspondence from the Montana Secretary of State, tax notices, compliance reminders, annual report notifications, and other legal documents addressed to your business.
We scan and forward documents the same day we receive them. Speed is central to our service because legal documents often have tight response deadlines, and we want you to have maximum time to respond.
Montana doesn't charge a filing fee to change your registered agent. The change itself is free when you file the update form with the Montana Secretary of State. Our service costs $99 per year once you switch to us.
Montana annual reports are due by April 15 each year. The filing fee is $20. If you file after the deadline, you'll pay a $15 late fee, bringing the total to $35.
Montana's annual report typically includes your business name, registered agent information, principal office address, and names and addresses of members or managers (for LLCs) or directors and officers (for corporations). The specific requirements may vary based on your entity type.
Filing late triggers a $15 penalty on top of the standard $20 fee. If you remain delinquent for an extended period, the Montana Secretary of State may administratively dissolve your business, which can lead to losing liability protection and good standing.
Everything: a registered office address in Helena, same-day document scanning and forwarding, compliance reminders and alerts, access to our online document portal, and privacy protection with our address on your public filings. No setup fees or hidden charges.
Many registered agent services in Montana charge $125 to $436 per year. We keep our costs down by focusing on core services and operating efficiently. Our pricing reflects what the service actually costs, not what the market will bear.
