WV Business Owners Can Now File 2024 Annual Report

With the beginning of the new year business owners in West Virginia can now file their 2024 annual report can be filed with the Secretary of State.
Filing an annual report can be done in minutes without assistance with a suite of business tools available 24/7 at Business4.wv.gov. Users can file as a guest if they do not wish to create a user account.
Annual reports are required by law to ensure that businesses keep their registration with the state current with updated information on their current physical location, officers and agents.
Secretary Mac Warner strongly encourages all businesses to file as soon as possible to avoid statutory late fees that are applied after the June 30 deadline.
“We always encourage business owners to file early,” said Warner. “It’s now quick and easy to file an annual report.”
Additionally, Warner urged all business owners to be wary of third-party solicitations offering to file a 2024 annual report on the business’s behalf.
Third-party providers have been reported to charge businesses more than 500 percent of the statutory $25 fee and often advertise the wrong deadline for state compliance.
Solicitations from third-party vendors routinely have the appearance of an official government form, but are not government-approved, reviewed or official notices in any manner, Warner said.
