Are There Incentive Programs for LLCs in West Virginia?
In fact, there are several incentive programs for LLCs registered in West Virginia. For example, there are plenty of grants that you can receive from the Department of Commerce, all of which can help your business. Speaking of helping your business, West Virginia offers businesses energy incentives, too. Depending on the services that your LLC offers, you may also qualify for sales and use tax exemptions as well. West Virginia has been growing and is looking to continue doing so.
What are the Tax Credits for West Virginia Corporations?
In addition to LLCs, West Virginia wants to be home to more corporations as well. Specifically, West Virginia is looking for corporations that are going to create jobs in the state. So, if you create a minimum of twenty new jobs and invest in a business facility, you could qualify for the “Economic Opportunity Tax Credit.” By that same token, if you create at least 15 jobs and relocate your corporation headquarters/business to WV, then you can receive the (aptly named) “Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit.” Those are just some of the reasons to center your business in West Virginia.
A Wild, Wonderful State for Growth and Startups
In addition to hoping to bring more companies and jobs to the state, West Virginia wants to bring more companies and more jobs to specific areas of the state.
