Everything a new Virginia business needs, handled in the right order:
Name screening — checked for availability against the Virginia SCC before we file.
LLC formation — we prepare and file your Virginia Articles of Organization on your behalf.
Federal EIN — we apply for your EIN so you can open a bank account and invoice.
Website — a professional site, ready for customers.
Brand kit — logo, colors, and the essentials to look established from day one.
Stripe setup — a Stripe-ready checkout; complete the quick pre-activation to start accepting payments.
30-day marketing plan — a simple plan to get your first customers.
The $350 also covers Virginia's $100 state filing fee, which we pay directly to the SCC on your behalf — nothing extra to pay your state.
Why founders choose Launch Bridge over doing it themselves
You can file in Virginia yourself — but most first-time founders lose weeks bouncing between the SCC portal, IRS forms, a registrar, and a payment processor, and small mistakes get expensive. Launch Bridge runs the whole sequence in the right order, with AI preparing each step and a human reviewing everything before it's filed, so you skip the guesswork and start operating sooner. One flat core fee, optional services priced clearly, and a full refund until we file.

How long does it take to form an LLC in Virginia?+
Most founders are ready to operate in as little as 72 hours. Launch Bridge files within 24 hours; Virginia SCC approval typically takes 1 to 3 business days, and that part is the state's clock. Everything on our side runs in parallel.
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Virginia?+
Launch Bridge is one flat $350 fee that includes name screening, LLC filing, your federal EIN, a brand kit, website, Stripe setup, and a 30-day marketing plan — plus Virginia's $100 state filing fee, paid directly to the SCC on your behalf.
Do I need a registered agent for a Virginia LLC?+
Yes. Virginia requires every LLC to continuously maintain a registered agent with a Virginia address. You can serve as your own if eligible, or add Launch Bridge’s professional registered agent option for an additional charge.
Do I need an EIN for my Virginia LLC?+
Almost always — you'll need a federal EIN to open a business bank account, hire, or invoice properly. Launch Bridge applies for your EIN for you as part of the flat fee.
Can I form a Virginia LLC if I work from home?+
Yes. We never publish your home address on your website by default, and we help you keep personal contact details private while still meeting Virginia's requirements.
Is Launch Bridge a law firm?+
No. Launch Bridge provides business setup assistance and is not a law firm or a substitute for legal advice. We prepare and file the documents you ask us to, on your instruction.
Who is eligible?+
Launch Bridge currently forms single-member and multi-member LLCs in Virginia only. If you want to operate a Virginia business, you're exactly who we built this for.
