With 25,000 or fewer authorized shares the SCC total is $75, so a corporation runs $25 less than an LLC in year one. Choose more shares and the charter fee rises in $50 steps. Above 1,000,000 shares it is a flat $2,500 plus the $25 filing fee.
| Package | Corporation SCC fee (5,000 shares) | With our agent |

| Starter | $75 | $423 |

| Complete | $75 | $474 (agent included) |

What each later year costs
Virginia has no LLC annual report. The only recurring SCC charge is the $50 annual registration fee, due by the last day of your formation month (§ 13.1-1062). Keep our agent ($199) and let us pay the fee for you ($129 plus the $50) and a typical LLC spends $378 a year. Pay it yourself online and the state side stays at $50.
A corporation with 5,000 or fewer authorized shares also pays $50 a year, and files an annual report alongside it.
Official sourceProtected series add up
Each statement of protected series designation is $100 at the SCC, and each protected series pays its own $50 annual registration fee. Three series at formation add $300 now and $150 a year. That is why we ask how many series you truly need before filing.
Official sourceOptional costs to plan for
Online expedite from the SCC: $50 or $100 for next business day, $200 for same day. A certificate of fact of existence for the bank: $6. Our corporate or LLC kit: $79, only if you add it. Our EIN service: $99, or get the EIN free from the IRS yourself.
