Get the Facts About Changing Your Company's Records

As your business information changes, you must notify the Secretary of State through a filing known as an amendment. Most commonly, corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) file amendments to reflect changes in their company name.

The Company Corporation can help you file an amendment in any state or the District of Columbia for $125 plus state fees. Update your company's information by placing an order with a Business Specialist at 800-818-6082 (toll-free) or 302-636-5440.

Why Do Businesses File Amendments?

State laws require businesses to notify the Secretary of State when their Articles of Incorporation (for a corporation) or Articles of Organization (for an LLC) change. You can turn to us for help with:

• Name amendments. The state must approve the new name before your company begins to use it.
  
  
• Director or member amendments. If your company's formation document included the names of directors or members, the state may require an amendment.
  
  
• Purpose amendments. These amendments report changes in your company's business activities on file with the state.
