What are the deadlines for different types of business filings?

The deadlines for business filings in Virginia can vary depending on the type of filing and the specific business entity involved. For most entities, the annual report must be filed by the last day of the month in which the entity was formed. For example, if a business was incorporated in March, its annual report will be due by the end of March each year. For certificate of formation filings, there are no specific deadlines as they can be filed at any time; however, it is advisable to file as soon as the decision to form the entity is made. If an entity wishes to make amendments to its articles of incorporation or organization, this must also be submitted to the Virginia Secretary of State in a timely manner to ensure compliance. Government filings for other activities, such as business licenses or permits, may have additional deadlines based on local jurisdictions.
