EP2. "Just Use Your Home Address" | US Business Address (Mailman of Justice)
In this video
- The second full episode, and the problem is the address a founder already has rather than one he borrows
- The premise is that a state filing is a public record, so the address on it stops being private the day it is filed
- It is a story rather than a filing walkthrough, so the state-by-state mechanics stay in the linked guides
Gemini Summary
The full widescreen episode two. Ethan files his US LLC with the only address he has, his own home, and strangers start turning up at the door. The Mailman of Justice arrives to deal with what the filing already published.
Notes
This is the full version of episode two. Ethan starts a US business with the only address he has, and the consequence arrives at his front door before the paperwork feels real.
Two things the episode does not have room for, and both change what you would actually do. Which address becomes public depends on the state and on the field. A registered agent address covers the agent field, and it does not cover the other address fields a state may ask for on the same form, which is why changing one line does not always change what is searchable. And the fix is easier before you file than after, because an address already on a filing stays in the record even once you update it. The linked guides cover both.
