Montana Articles of Organization: The Document That Creates Your LLC

What the Articles of Organization include

• Your LLC name (must be available and end in "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company").
• Your registered agent name and physical Montana address, with the agent's consent.
• A principal mailing address (this may be outside the US).
• The organizer's name and signature (Bastion can act as organizer).
• Whether the LLC is member-managed or manager-managed.

Step by step (what Bastion does for you)

1. Confirm your chosen name is available with the Secretary of State.
2. Attach your Montana registered agent and their consent.
3. Complete the Articles with your details.
4. File online with the Secretary of State and pay the $35 fee.
5. Send you the state-approved Articles for your records and your bank.

After it's approved

Once the state approves the filing, your LLC legally exists. Next steps: get your EIN, sign your operating agreement, and request a Certificate of Good Standing if your bank asks for one.
