HB 2936 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Allowing one free day for WV residents to obtain new for-profit business license

HB 2936 would waive the $100 fee for new for-profit corporations to register with the West Virginia Secretary of State for one designated day each year. This directly affects new business owners forming for-profit corporations in the state, lowering their immediate startup cost. The bill amends state law to temporarily eliminate the standard $100 filing fee required for articles of incorporation. This policy change provides a one-time cost reduction for business formation without altering ongoing fee structures.
