Virginia Business is the only publication dedicated to covering economic activity in every sector and every region of the state. Since its creation, our magazine has won awards, attracted loyal readers and established a reputation as a “must read” for anybody who wants to stay abreast of commercial events in the commonwealth.

Founded in 1986, Virginia Business quickly gained a reputation for journalistic excellence. Readers soon discovered that our magazine featured lively writing, in-depth analysis, and thought-provoking insights. These qualities continue to define our content.

Virginia Business reached a major milestone in September 2009 when publisher Bernie Niemeier led a private equity-funded purchase of the publication from Media General Inc. The magazine has operated as an independent publication since then.
