LICENSING FORVirginia Business Licenses
Virginia prides itself on being one of the easiest places to operate a business. What makes Virginia an easy place to do business is the ability to obtain information about starting a business, expanding a business into the state or obtaining proper licensure. The Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (VA-DPOR) regulates 43 different industries and issues professional credentials, licenses, certificate or registrations. The State's goal is to entice new business by requiring the minimum competency necessary to practice in a particular industry without harming the public. The VA-DPOR processes over 54 thousand new license applications and more than 2 million license renewals annually.
