Bad time to ask where my office is 🪟
In this video
- You can live anywhere — your business address can't be 'anywhere'
- Registered agent address ≠operational business address
- Where KYC quietly trips up non-resident founders
Gemini Summary
A quick gag with a serious core: you can live anywhere, but your business needs a US address that banks and platforms accept. The gap between a registered agent address and an operational business address is where KYC trips up non-resident founders.
Notes
You live anywhere. Your business still needs a US address banks and platforms actually accept. A registered agent address isn't the same as a real operational business address — and that gap is exactly where KYC quietly trips people up.
