Forming a West Virginia LLC can limit risk
West Virginia LLCs provide the owners (members) with the limited liability protection that West Virginia corporations offer, only with a much more simple business structure and a different tax structure.
Tips on naming your West Virginia LLC
A Limited Liability Company that is to be formed in West Virginia must include Limited Liability Company, Limited Company or an abbreviation. A Limited Liability Company formed in West Virginia may not have the same name as an existing Corporation or LLC or other legal entity. The name of the LLC must be distinguishable upon the records of the Secretary of State. To determine distinction, the Secretary of State will ignore the use of conjunctions, prepositions or articles used in the name of a LLC. The Secretary of State will also ignore the use of capitalization, spaces and plural forms of words or special characters. Also certain words will be regulated and prior approval may be needed in order to use the word in a corporate name.
