The West Virginia Government Corporate Disclosure Statement is a document that is required to be filed by corporations that are incorporated in the state of West Virginia. This disclosure statement is required to be filed with the West Virginia Secretary of State’s office. The purpose of the disclosure statement is to provide information to the public about the persons and entities that are involved with the corporation, such as its owners, officers, directors, and shareholders. The information provided must include the names of the corporation, the address of its registered office, the names of its officers, directors, shareholders, and the date of incorporation. There are two types of West Virginia Government Corporate Disclosure Statements: 1) Initial Disclosure Statement and 2) Annual Disclosure Statement. The Initial Disclosure Statement is the document that must be filed when the corporation is first incorporated, and the Annual Disclosure Statement must be filed every year to update the information on the corporation.
