Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step to form a business in Virginia?
File articles of organization for an LLC or articles of incorporation for a corporation with the Virginia State Corporation Commission. The filing fee is $100 for an LLC and $75 plus share-based fees for a corporation.
Do I need an operating agreement for my Virginia LLC?
Yes. While Virginia law does not require filing it, an operating agreement establishes member rights, profit distribution, and management structure. Without one, default state rules apply, which may not match your business needs.
What are the annual requirements for Virginia businesses?
Virginia requires an annual registration fee and report. For LLCs, the fee is $50. Corporations pay a fee based on authorized shares. These are due by the last day of your registration month each year.
Can I operate my out-of-state business in Virginia?
You must register as a foreign entity with the Virginia State Corporation Commission before transacting business in Virginia. Operating without registration can lead to civil penalties and loss of legal standing in Virginia courts.
What happens if a Virginia business operates without proper registration?
The business loses its good standing, faces civil penalties, and cannot maintain lawsuits in Virginia courts. Directors and officers may face personal liability for breaches of fiduciary duty under Virginia corporate law.
