How do I obtain or renew my business license?

Business licensing is outside the scope of the Secretary of State's Office and is typically done at the city or county level, depending on where you live. Some industries also have specific licensing and
registration requirements: https://commerce.mt.gov/Business/Resources/Business-Licensing.

You can also contact the Montana Department of Labor & Industry which may provide further assistance. Their website is here: https://dli.mt.gov/about/ and the contact phone number I found listed is (406) 444-2840.
