Wrong Address = LLC Rejected (Free Checker)
In this video
- Registered agent address and business address are not interchangeable
- The rejection usually arrives at the bank, after the LLC is already filed
- Check the address before you sign, not after
Gemini Summary
A short on the address mistake that surfaces late, at the bank. A registered agent address and a business address are different things, and the one your formation service handed you may not be the one a bank will accept for KYC. The video points at the free address checker as the 30-second way to find out before you sign a virtual office contract, rather than after the account application comes back rejected.
Notes
The order of events is what makes this expensive. You form the LLC, the service hands you an address, and everything looks fine until a bank runs it and declines. By then the address is already on the state filing and on the IRS record, so fixing it means amending both.
The underlying confusion is that a registered agent address exists to receive legal service, and that is all it is required to do. Whether an address also works as a business address for KYC is a separate question with a separate answer, and it depends on how the address is classified rather than on who sold it to you.
That classification is checkable in advance, which is the whole point of the free checker: 30 seconds now against an amendment later.
