Why You Need a Professional Address

In the United States, business registration information is public by law.

U.S. company addresses are publicly searchable

Addresses and officer names registered with the Secretary of State are freely searchable online by anyone.

Using your home address can expose your personal information

Many first-time founders use their home address. Once registered, it becomes a permanent part of the public record.

Spam, unwanted visits, and privacy risks

A publicly listed home address can lead to spam mail, unsolicited visits, and personal information exposure.

Using a professional address helps reduce exposure of your personal home address on public records.
