EP1. "Just Use Your Friend's Address" | The Worst US Business Address Advice (Mailman of Justice)
In this video
- The widescreen cut of episode one, the first full story after three teasers
- The bad advice is the one non-resident founders hear most often, that a friend's address will do for a US business
- It is a story rather than a filing walkthrough, so the mechanics stay in the linked guide
Gemini Summary
The full widescreen episode one. A fox in a suit tells Ethan to just use his friend's address for his US business, and the Mailman of Justice turns up to undo the advice. It runs the story out further than the vertical cut does, and the written guide still carries the mechanics.
Notes
This is the full version of episode one. Ethan is starting a US business, a slick villain tells him to just use a friend's address, and the Mailman of Justice shows up to deal with the consequences before they land.
Treat it as the story, not the procedure. The episode raises the problem and leaves the specifics to the written guide on using someone else's address for an LLC, which covers where a borrowed address holds up and where it does not.
