How to Reactivate Your Montana Business License?

The business reinstatement process, also known as Revival or Reactivation, brings a delinquent company back into good standing with the state. It's the only way to reopen your business doors after your company has fallen behind on franchise taxes and annual reports and may have been administratively dissolved by the state.

If your business license has expired, you may be required to reactivate it in order to continue operations. This process is different for each state and can be complex. You may need to pay fees and/or fines, file missed annual reports, or meet other requirements set by the regulatory agency that oversees business licenses.

The first step in the process of reinstating a Montana business is to gather all necessary documents. This includes a Title 15 Tax Certificate from the Department of Revenue and an Application for Reinstatement that you can find on the Secretary of State’s website. It is important to provide all of the information requested on these forms, including your business name, FEIN, and Secretary of State ID Number.

Once you have gathered all necessary documentation, it is time to submit your reinstatement request. This will typically require a fee, proof of compliance with state regulations, and a copy of your FEIN or SS#. You should also update any bank accounts and marketing materials to reflect your new business name.
