CHANGE YOUR COMPANY NAME
What is an Amendment?
When you initially registered your business as a legal entity, you likely completed Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization. These documents included essential details such as your business name, chosen structure (LLC, S Corporation, C Corporation, or Nonprofit Corporation), the registered agent’s information, start date, and the names of partners or shareholders.
As your business evolves, you may encounter situations where your business name no longer aligns with your services, or there are changes in your leadership team. Any significant changes to the information provided in your Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization must be reported to your state’s secretary by submitting an Articles of Amendment form.
Frequently asked questions
What business changes can be reported in an Articles of Amendment form?
What information is required to file?
Essential information required comprises your current entity name, any desired name change, the details of new amendments, adoption dates (some states necessitate member or board voting), delayed adoption dates if applicable, and the name(s) and address(es) of the individual(s) submitting the document for filing (often requiring signatures from the president and secretary).
Why do I need to file?
The information contained in the articles of organization is publicly accessible, hence LLCs must ensure accuracy in their filed Articles of Organization, including company name, owners, and managers. In case of ownership disputes, these documents serve as evidence. Additionally, they protect legal rights in the event of name conflicts with other companies.
How do I submit it?
How much does it cost to file?
The state fee differs depending on the state. Our service fee for filing Articles of Amendment is $99.
How long does it take to file?
The processing time depends on the state agency’s regulations and differs from state to state. For instance, in California, the procedure takes more than eight weeks. Many states provide expedited service for an extra fee.
