May 13, 2025/

According to Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, more than 6,700 new businesses filed for registrations last month in Montana.

This continues a trend of increasing business registrations over the past four years. Nearly 64,000 businesses registered in 2024.

The first four months of 2025 started off with a bang, with more than 25,000 businesses registering in the Treasure State.

State officials credit the increase to online document access, decreased registration feeds and waived annual report filing fees.
