Warning to West Virginia Business Owners: Beware of Deceptive Solicitations
December 15, 2025 - 11:36
West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner has issued a crucial warning to business owners regarding misleading third-party solicitations that mimic official government forms. These solicitations are often designed to appear legitimate but are actually private advertisements seeking to profit from unsuspecting businesses. Warner emphasizes the importance of filing annual reports directly through the official state website, Business4.WV.gov, to ensure compliance and avoid unnecessary fees.
The filing period for the 2026 Annual Report is set to begin on January 1 and will run until June 30, 2026. Business owners are encouraged to mark their calendars and take advantage of the official resources available to them. By filing directly through the state’s designated platform, businesses can protect themselves from potential scams and ensure that their information is submitted correctly and securely. Warner's office remains committed to safeguarding the interests of West Virginia businesses and encourages vigilance against fraudulent practices.
