Purpose Amendment
Anytime you change information included in your company's articles of incorporation or articles of organization, you typically need to file an Article of Amendment. When the business purpose of a Corporation, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Partnership (LP) or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) changes and the company's formation documents include a detailed purpose clause that consequently needs to be updated, filing a purpose amendment may be required in states where your company conducts business.
The amendment certifies that changes to the business purpose were completed as required by law with consent of the appropriate individuals within the company. Legal requirements vary by state and entity type. For example, business purpose changes for a corporation may require consent of the incorporator, the company's board of directors or its shareholders.
