Montana Sets Record for New Business Registrations

(HELENA)— Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen announced Wednesday that Montana entrepreneurs set a record for new business registrations, with more than 8,000 businesses launched in March 2026. The milestone marks the strongest single month on record and continues the thriving trend of business growth throughout the Treasure State.
March’s figures reflect not only sustained entrepreneurial enthusiasm but also the growing diversity of Montana’s business landscape. Since January, more than 21,000 new business registrations have been filed across the state — a strong indicator of confidence in Montana’s economy and the opportunities available to those ready to create, build, and lead.
