CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – The West Virginia secretary of state’s office is now offering a new portal for businesses to complete filing requirements.

The website can be used by people who want to form a new West Virginia business or register an existing out-of-state business.

Secretary of State Mac Warner says the new portal is mobile-friendly and replaces a service that was almost 15 years old and didn’t work well with newer devices.

Business and Licensing Director Penney Barker said the new portal also does away with problems that made the old service hard to maintain and keep up-to-date.

Barker says the goal for the portal is to gather information from numerous state websites in one central location.
