West Virginia Trade Name (DBA) Withdrawal is the legal process of terminating a business name that is registered with the West Virginia Secretary of State. It is applicable to all types of businesses, including individual, sole proprietorship, and general partnership. This process involves submitting a withdrawal request and providing supporting documents to the Secretary of State. The withdrawal must be approved before the name can be officially removed from the records. Once approved, the name can no longer be used by any other business in the state. The individual, sole proprietorship, or general partnership must also provide proof of business dissolution in order to complete the withdrawal process.
