Clinton Township, MI asked in Business Formation and Business Law for Michigan

Q: LLC using a virtual address instead of using home address

I live in an apartment complex (Clinton Township, MI) and recently opened a LLC. I purchased a "virtual address" online - a Troy, MI address.

The Troy address is much more professional looking. It is not a location I can work from, it is just a location that can receive mail for me.

Should/Can I change the LLC's incorporation documents to show the virtual address?

Should/Can I change the address on the LLC bank account to the Troy address?

Thanks for your help

A: The Michigan LLC Act requires that the company's books and records be maintained at the registered office or its principal place of business. MCL 450.4213. You could use the Troy address as the registered office even if it is not the principal place of business. Whether you should do so is not a legal question.
