Everything we've learned about starting and running a US business — written down as we go. Plain-English guides on addresses, LLCs, taxes, and the paperwork nobody warns you about.
Dropshipping means a supplier ships the product, so many sellers assume they never need their own address. But your Shopify store, Shopify Payments, your LLC, and your bank all ask for a business address, and the supplier's warehouse is not it. Here is which address each one needs, why the supplier's address is the wrong answer, and how to keep your home address off a public store.
Two very different roads, one oddly similar bank account.
The instincts that took a business to seven figures are rarely the instincts that keep it legal at seven figures.
Certified mail needs a signature, which raises a fair question about virtual addresses. Here is how a staffed virtual address receives signature-required mail, signs for it, and gets the scan or original to you.
Get a professional US business address in 24 hours.
Amazon, Google, and other platforms confirm your address by mailing a postcard with a code. Here is how that works, how to receive one at a virtual address, and what to do when the postcard does not arrive.
Coaches and consultants run their business from a laptop, but their address still ends up on contracts, invoices, and their website. Here is how a virtual address keeps your home private and your practice looking professional.
Running a business in a state you do not live in raises a real question: what address do you use? Here is how out-of-state owners use a virtual office, which state to put the address in, and the multi-state filings to watch for.
When your home is an RV, you still need a fixed mailing address. Here is how full-time RVers receive and scan their mail, why a mailing address is not the same as legal domicile, and how to pick an address that the DMV and banks accept.
Closing or relocating an office is a mail event before it is a paperwork event. Here is where your business mail goes the day the office closes, how to file the right Change of Address, who you still need to notify, and how to avoid a gap in delivery.
Proof of address for a business is a document, not just an address. Here is which documents banks, payment processors, marketplaces, and state agencies accept, the recency rules that trip people up, and why proof of address gets rejected.
When business mail keeps coming back, the problem is usually the address itself, not the mail. Here is why an LLC address bounces mail, how to tell if yours is the cause, and how to switch to a deliverable address that stops the returns.
Google Merchant Center asks for a business address and checks that it holds up, so an address that does not match your site or cannot be verified can stall your products. Here is which address Merchant Center uses, why it has to be verifiable, and whether a home, virtual, or PO Box address works.
