13<script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does it cost to start an LLC in Virginia?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Virginia charges $100 to file the Articles of Organization (Form LLC1011) that create a new Virginia LLC. That single $100 filing fee, paid to the State Corporation Commission, is all the state requires to form the LLC. Reserving a business name before you file is optional and costs $10 for 120 days (Form SCC631). Designating or later changing your registered agent or registered office carries no SCC fee (Form LLC1016). Expedited review is optional: $50 or $100 for a next-business-day response, or $200 for same-business-day, and only for filings submitted online. Virginia then assesses a $50 annual registration fee every year for as long as the LLC exists. Launch Bridge charges one flat $350: a $250 service fee plus the $100 Virginia filing fee, which we pay to the SCC on your behalf. The $100 is the state's fee, not an extra charge from us, and you never pay Virginia separately. Sources: Virginia SCC â Virginia Limited Liability Companies (forms and fees); Virginia SCC â Annual Registration Fees; Virginia SCC â Online Expedited Services; Launch Bridge Terms of Service. Last verified September 23, 2026."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does it take to form an LLC in Virginia?","acceptedA
13nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Virginia does not publish a standard processing time for LLC filings. It does guarantee turnaround for paid expedited online filings: a response by 4:00 p.m. ET the next business day for $50 or $100, or by 4:00 p.m. ET the same business day for $200. Next-day service requires submitting by 2:00 p.m. ET; same-day service requires submitting by 10:00 a.m. ET. Expedited service is available only through the SCCâs online Clerkâs Information System â paper submissions cannot be expedited, and expedite fees are nonrefundable. Timeframes count business days, so filings sent on a weekend or holiday take longer. Launch Bridge submits your filing to the SCC within 72 hours of a completed order and payment, and in our experience SCC processing then takes about 1 to 3 business days. The 72-hour submission window is our own commitment under our Terms; the SCCâs processing time is the stateâs and is not guaranteed. Sources: Virginia SCC â Online Expedited Services; Virginia SCC â Virginia Limited Liability Companies (forms and fees); Launch Bridge Terms of Service. Last verified September 23, 2026."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do I need a registered agent for a Virginia LLC?","acceptedA
13nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Under Code of Virginia § 13.1-1015, every Virginia LLC must continuously maintain a registered office in Virginia and a registered agent. The agent can be an individual Virginia resident who is a member or manager of the LLC, an officer or director of a corporation that is a member or manager, a general partner of a partnership that is a member or manager, a trustee of a member trust, a member of the Virginia State Bar, or an officer of the LLC available at the registered office during business hours. It can instead be a corporation, LLC, or registered LLP authorized to transact business in Virginia, whose business office is the same as the registered office. The registered agentâs business office must be identical with the registered office, and the registered office may be one of the LLCâs places of business. The SCC charges no fee to designate a registered agent or to change the agent or office later. You can serve as your own registered agent if you meet the statuteâs requirements. Launch Bridge also offers a professional registered agent option for an additional charge; it is not part of the flat $350. Sources: Code of Virginia § 13.1-1015 â Registered office and registered agent; Virginia SCC â Virginia Limited Liability Companies (forms and fees). Last verified September 23, 2026."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do I need an EIN for my Virginia LLC, and does it cost anything?","acceptedA
13nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"An EIN is free. The IRS issues EINs at no charge and, when an online application is approved, issues the number immediately. The IRS warns that you never have to pay a fee for an EIN. The IRS says you generally need an EIN to hire employees, operate a partnership or corporation, pay certain taxes, or administer certain trusts and retirement plans. The IRS advises forming your LLC with the state before applying for the EIN; applying first can delay the application. The online application must be completed in one session, and one EIN is issued per responsible party per day. Launch Bridge prepares and submits your EIN application as part of the flat $350. That covers our work, not a government fee â the EIN itself is free from the IRS, and you can apply yourself at no cost. Sources: IRS â Get an employer identification number. Last verified September 23, 2026."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What does Virginia charge an LLC every year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Virginia assesses a $50 annual registration fee on every LLC. It is due by the last day of the month in which your LLC was organized, every year after formation. The SCC assesses the fee and sends notice about two months before it is due; you cannot pay before being assessed. A late payment adds a $25 penalty for an LLC, and continued nonpayment can lead to cancellation of the LLC. There is no processing fee when the annual fee is paid online. The $50 annual fee is not part of Launch Bridgeâs $350. You pay it to the SCC each year yourself. Sources: Virginia SCC â Annual Registration Fees. Last verified September 23, 2026."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I reserve a Virginia LLC name before I file?","acceptedA
13nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, and it is optional. A Virginia business name reservation costs $10 and holds the name for 120 days (Form SCC631); it can be renewed or transferred for $10. Reserving a name is not required in order to form an LLC â you can file the Articles of Organization directly. Changing your LLCâs name after formation is a separate $25 filing (Form LLC1014N). Launch Bridge screens your preferred names against the SCC register as part of the flat $350. A formal reservation is a separate optional state filing. Sources: Virginia SCC â Virginia Limited Liability Companies (forms and fees). Last verified September 23, 2026."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I form a Virginia LLC if I work from home?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. By default we do not publish your home address on your website, and we help you limit the personal contact details you share while still meeting Virginia's requirements. Some formation details you file with the state become part of Virginia's public record."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is Launch Bridge a law firm?","acceptedA
13nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Launch Bridge provides business setup assistance and is not a law firm or a substitute for legal advice. We prepare and file the documents you ask us to, on your instruction."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Who is eligible?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Launch Bridge currently forms single-member and multi-member LLCs in Virginia only. If you want to operate a Virginia business, you're exactly who we built this for."}}]}</script>
