Articles of
Amendment

• Business bank accounts
• Business licenses and permits
• Insurance policies
• Contracts and agreements
• IRS records (if applicable)

Articles of Amendment are official documents filed with the state to make changes to your company's formation documents (Articles of Organization for LLCs or Articles of Incorporation for corporations). They formally update your business records with the state.

You need to file an amendment when changing your business name, registered agent, principal address, business purpose, management structure, or authorized shares (for corporations). Some changes require amendments while others can be made internally.

Processing times vary by state, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks. Expedited processing is available in most states for an additional fee. We'll provide estimated timelines for your specific state.

If you're changing information in your operating agreement (LLC) or bylaws (corporation), you should update those documents as well. However, internal documents don't need to be filed with the state -- only the Articles of Amendment.

Yes, in most states you can include multiple changes in a single amendment filing. This can save money on filing fees compared to filing separate amendments for each change.

Once approved, the state will issue a filed copy or certificate of amendment. Your business records will be updated with the new information. Make sure to update your business licenses, bank accounts, and other records as needed.
