I'm an independent trader who has set up an LLC for my trading. I have a home address for my business, and a PO Box as a mailing address, and I'm the only person in this LLC. If at some point I decide to move, possibly multiple times, is there any way I can legally set up a floating or moving address? I don't want to do anything in a grey area. Thank you for any advice or tips you can offer!
I have the same situation as you and I keep a virtual mailing address for my company which works great, I've been using https://www.anytimemailbox.com/ (no affiliation) for years and they simply scan my mail and let me know then I can login online anytime to view it and check a box for it to be forwarded or shredded, very cheap and completely legal.
Thank you tiddlywinks and Stockchartist for your positive posts. I'll have to see if either anytimemailbox or having a Registered Agent would qualify for the (non-mailing) address that a business needs. Would the registered agent qualify for brokerages for actual address? BTW, post office doesn't look kindly upon having to do mail forwarding for multiple moves, nor is it time effective.
A registered agent meets all the legal needs and requirements specifically for the business entity. A registered agent is a requirement to complete entity papers, but a general mailing address may be different from the registered agent. Each state has it's own laws, but the registered agent has a physical location in the state of incorporation and qualifies as the business address. The registered agent can be an individual or another entity. I prefer doing business with a "commercial" registered agent. Here is a quick page re: registered agents from a cursory search... https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/best-registered-agent-services/ fwiw, my NV entity (and a newer UT entity) uses Northwest. Don't forget, changes to a registered agent, and/or mailing address require a filing (usually with a filing fee) to the secretary of state of the state of incorporation. As mentioned, each state is different. Happy Holidays.
Thank you tiddlywinks! That answers all my questions. I think I listed myself as my registered agent (and forgot about that), which is why I had to have a physical address for my business. If anyone else has this question: I dug a little deeper and found this link: https://www.legalnature.com/guides/the-ins-and-outs-of-registered-agents-what-you-need-to-know I think for my specific instance, if I was moving across states, I'd want to have a registered agent that was in those states. Or even easier, in all 50 states. There are a number of registered agents that are in multiple or 50 states, so there could be one point of contact even if I was in different locations. I also appreciate the reminder about the secretary of state reminder. Thank you for all your help, I hope this helps someone else also, and have good holidays and trading!
