YELLOWSTONE VEHICLE SERVICES llc

Montana LLC Formation Services

Claim your independence with Yellowstone Vehicle Services LLC

Yellowstone Vehicle Services LLC was born from an idea. That idea is central to the spirit of Montana –independence, freedom, and individual choice. We believe these are precious ideals and should be available to everyone. They are woven into our way of life here, born from Montana’s endless Big Sky, mountain grandeur, rolling plains, and strong community. And while not everyone can live in Montana, we believe everyone can have a little bit of Montana, the Last Best Place, for themselves.

Montana helps to make independence available to everyone through its treatment of Limited Liability Companies, or “LLCs.” Here in Montana, an LLC, if properly structured, operated, and represented, is a Montana resident regardless of the residency of its members or managers. A legal resident.

A Montana resident LLC, like any LLC, can buy or own things. Montana has no sales tax, annual vehicle inspections, or emissions tests. A Montana LLC can own a new vehicle, used vehicle, classic car, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, trailer, aircraft, boat, or another item. This means you can have more independence, wherever you live.

Simple is always better. At Yellowstone Vehicle Services, LLC, we provide a simple, superior, and value-priced service forming, representing, maintaining, and helping LLC members and managers manage their Montana LLCs. We also help Montana LLCs purchase, title, and register new vehicle, used vehicles, classic cars, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, trailers, aircrafts, boats, or any even any other item. We can even help you transfer items you already own to a Montana LLC.

Montana loves resident LLCs and has legal provisions for nearly any type of property a Montana resident LLC may encounter. Montana airplanes are not subject to personal property tax or use tax. Montana cars eleven years and older can obtain a permanent license and registration. Yes, permanent, as in forever. Trailers, street-legal motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, and other recreational vehicles also qualify for special Montana treatment.

We protect what is precious about Montana, but like a good neighbor, know how to share. So reach out today and ask us how we can help you legally form a Montana LLC of your own.

Why a Montana LLC is Different and How What We Do Legally Works

When property structured, a Limited Liability Company, or LLC, can provide the benefits of limited liability protection, operational ease and flexibility, and pass-through taxation without the burdens and restrictions generally found in the S Corporation, C Corporation, and Limited Liability Partnership business forms. Owners of an LLC are called “members.”

In Montana, LLCs are considered Montana residents regardless of the residency of their members. Montana has no sales tax. For this reason, when a Montana LLC properly purchases an asset, no sales taxes are due. Montana is also unique in that qualifying vehicles over 11 years old can register permanently forever. Trailers, boats, and recreational vehicles all receive permanent registrations. For the distinctive owner, Montana has a wide variety of artful sponsored license plates, which can be found here https://mvdmt.gov/license-plate-lookup/type-plate-sponsored/.

Yellowstone Vehicle Services LLC will establish the Montana LLC of your choice. Once your LLC is established, your LLC can purchase assets like vehicles, boats, aircraft, trailers, and recreational vehicles. Your asset will be owned by your Montana LLC, which will have a Montana business address and registered agent. Your official documents will come to your Montana agent. We will mail them to you, or you can view them through a portal anywhere on earth (provided you have internet service and a computer).

Why are we different from the countless others providing this same service?

Montana does not have sales tax. Montana does have property tax on vehicles; unless a vehicle qualifies for permanent registration, property tax is paid annually. Most Montana counties charge additional property tax. Our Montana LLCs are created in a county that does not have additional property tax.
Other providers offer many different fee structures. A nominal fee to start followed by large expenses. A laundry list of extra fees or expenses. Not at Yellowstone Vehicle Services.
