Background:
I started a company and formed an LLC. Being a small company working from home I used my home address as my business address. As things progressed I started a Health/Dietary supplement Company. Naturally for safety and privacy reasons I do not want my home address online open in public records. My brand name is my company name as well.
I filed a change of address form and that has been submitted however the original address will always be online under the business as the forms are all public records.
Solutions:
The way I see it there are three solutions
1. Start a New LLC and refile all paperwork and change my brand name etc.
2. Deal with my address being online for any looney to see
3. Move to a new location
To me option 2 isnt really an option, you just never know these days. I am a new company with not a ton to lose by doing option 1 and starting over however it would be a pretty big pain. I do own the house so option 3 would also be a pain but doable.
Please Help Me:
Do you see any other options in this situation that I am overlooking?
What You Can Learn From My Idiocy:
NEVER use your home address as a business address on a form. These forms require a real street address so you cannot simply use a PO Box, you will have to get a UPS mailbox or posibly another option. These are a little more expensive but not terrible. Well worth the investment!
I never thought I would be in a position to start a supplmenet company when I created my LLC, you just never know, protect yourself and DONT use your home address!
