Which Business Address to put when starting LLC?

Question

Hi BP'er. I am new to investing in RE and am in the process of starting an LLC for our first big RE deal. I need to put an address in the paperwork to start the LLC and want to put a PO box or UPS mailbox as the address. BUT, in order to open one of those I need the date the LLC was registered. It seems like I need the LLC started to open a PO box but I need a PO box before I can open my LLC with the State. If I put my personal physical address down in order to open my LLC can I change my business' address later on? Any advice? Thanks!

Normally you should be able to set up a virtual mailbox or a PO box in your name, and then use the address to set up the LLC.

Alternatively, you can have the LLC set up by a law firm that has an address they can use in your state.

We use a registered agent and their info

We also have a P.O. Box as well

@Zach Herbert-Burns, different states may vary in how they handle this, but in my state (PA), you need to provide a physical address when starting your LLC in the paperwork submitted to the state. Otherwise people would have all these anonymous LLCs out there. Also, the state needs to know you are actually doing business IN THAT STATE. I like most people use my home as the physical address for that purpose.

After that, can use a PO Box for all other business purposes. So, my tenants on the lease only get the PO Box address as does anyone else my LLC does business with.
