State Corporation Commission

« Back to Glossary Index

In a handful of states, such as Virginia, business filings are handled by the State Corporation Commission rather than the Secretary of State. This agency has similar responsibilities, including forming LLCs, maintaining records, and regulating compliance. Some states use other names like Division of Corporations or Corporations Bureau. Understanding which agency manages business filings in your state ensures you file forms with the correct office.
