To change business structures from an Assumed Business Name to a Limited Liability Company, file a conversion to an LLC if the applicant on the registration is a partnership or an association. In order to keep the same name, if the ABN applicant is an individual, cancel the ABN, then re-register as an LLC. To Cancel an ABN: 1. Visit the online filing portal at https://biz.sosmt.gov/ 2. Sign into the site with your username and password. (If you don’t have an account, click the login button and you’ll see where you can create one.) 3. Search for the business registration using the “Search” in the left-side menu. 4. Click on the business name in the results list, and find a panel on the right side of the screen. 5. Go to the Filing Actions button and choose to “Cancel an Assumed Business Name.” 6. The form will open; complete the application online. Please read all the instructions and be sure to complete every form item that has a red *asterisk. Click on the Question Mark icon to see more information about the fields on each page. 7. Once the application is completed, click the “ FILE ONLINE” button to submit. 8. When the application is approved, the system will send an email. The email will also provide instructions on how to login to your account and download your confirmation documents.
