What physical address should I list in cases where my company does not have a physical office in the state?

Edited

Some states require that you provide an address located in that state when registering your business. In the case that you do not have a physical address in the state, you may provide an employee's address. However, it is important to be aware that this address may become part of the company's public record if it is used for a Secretary of State registration.

For payroll registration purposes, when inputting the employee’s address here, the state will not send mail to this specific address, it will instead be sent to the mailing address that Middesk will provide. Should an employee receive any mail from a state agency, please reach out to agent@middesk.com and our team can investigate.

Please Note: There are some addresses that will often raise red flags for tax agencies, and we'd recommend using such addresses on your registration(s). Such addresses include but are not limited to:

  • Shared working addresses or public working spaces

  • PO Boxes

  • Registered Agent addresses

  • Residential Addresses (if you are designating as a business location or office)
