New update makes it more efficient than ever to
register a new business in West Virginia
The West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office recently rolled
out a major update to the West Virginia One Stop Business Portal,
making it easier and more efficient for entrepreneurs to register a
business.
The update includes many improvements and enhancements, most
notably a new shopping cart feature, new file upload functionality
for supporting filing documents and new options for requesting
expedite service from the Secretary of State’s Office.
The new shopping cart feature enables users to pay for multiple
filings in a single checkout where before the checkout process had
to be completed for each filing. The new file upload functionality
allows users to attach supporting documents, which eliminates the
need to email, fax or mail them separately after the filing is
completed and drastically improves the efficiency of processing
registrations by the filing office.
For busy business owners with tight deadlines, new options have
been added which enable users to request expedite service for
filings and selections include one hour, two hours or 24 hours.
Previously, expedite service could only be requested by calling or
visiting the filing office and completing the expedite service
form.
“I’m thrilled with the new efficiencies we’re able to provide to
the businesses we serve with the update to the West Virginia One
Stop Business Portal website,” said Secretary of State Mac Warner.
“This latest round of improvements to the online system supports
our goal to make West Virginia the most efficient state in the
nation for opening and operating a new business, and we are not
done yet.”
Over the past two years, the Secretary of State’s Office has
made major improvements to its services to make it easier for
customers around the state to register new businesses online. In
addition, the redesigned website makes it easier for the state’s
117,000 current business organizations to file annual reports and
other official documents online.
"On paper, these changes may seem small, but they are far from
it,” said Penney Barker, Business & Licensing Director for the
West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office. “For instance, by adding
functionality to enable users to attach supporting documents that
are required for a specific filing type, staff are immediately able
to begin processing the filing as soon as it’s received which
improves the efficiency and turnaround time in getting
registrations reviewed and approved. We continue to strive to
provide the very best possible service to the business
community.”
The West Virginia One Stop Business Portal is the result of a
multi-agency collaboration between the West Virginia Secretary of
State, WorkForce West Virginia, the West Virginia State Tax
Department and the West Virginia Division of Labor. For more
