NOTE: This business name reservation does not authorize the entity to transact business in the State of Montana. A name reservation only holds the name for
future use, not current use. All Name Reservations are not renewable. The name reservation will expire either (whichever comes first): 120 days from the date of
filing OR when the entity files the necessary documents and fees to register the name and structure for active use. A person having a current reservation for a
Limited Partnership name may file a new Name Reservation for the same name after the previous reservation has been expired for at least 90 days. (35-12-506,
