LICENSING FOR
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. Most businesses must register, file forms and pay fees to the Virginia State Corporation Commission. 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.
Even though Virginia offers valuable information to consumers and entrepreneurs, the business formation, expansion or licensure can be a confusing process. We help navigate the licensing process, increasing productivity and saving your business money. Click below to learn more about specific industry licenses.
