HELENA — Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen says more than 5,200 new business registrations were filed in Montana during the month of July, according to the Montana Business Economic Report.
For the sixth time in seven months in 2024, more than 5,000 new business registrations were filed with the Secretary of State’s Office. Nearly 6,000 new business registrations were filed in April.
“Montanans continue to chase their dreams by opening their small businesses, and we’re honored to be part of their journey,” said Secretary Jacobsen. “Every day, Montanans visit our office, and it’s inspiring to see their excitement as they launch their new business. I’m proud of the excellent customer service our Business Services Division provides to every customer, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to assist these Montana businesses.”
Montana has had record new business registrations in each of Secretary Jacobsen’s first three years in office, and 2024 is on pace for another record year. Approximately 60,000 new businesses registered with the Secretary of State’s Office in 2023; nearly 40,000 new registrations have been filed through the first seven months of 2024.
Secretary Jacobsen recently announced that the Secretary of State’s Office will again provide a one-time fee waiver for all Montana businesses filing their 2025 Annual Reports. The fee will be automatically waived for each business filing between January 1 and the April 15 deadline.
“We’re grateful for the positive impact our local Montana businesses have on our state,” Secretary Jacobsen said in a release last week. “The Secretary of State’s Office is proud to be a partner to the Montana business community.”
“Thank you for doing business in Montana,” she added.
