If you’re expanding your business into the U.S., picking the right address type is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.
Whether you’re dealing with Amazon verification, Shopify Payments, Walmart verification, or opening a U.S. bank account, using the wrong address can lead to rejected applications, delays, and unnecessary costs.
Before you settle on a virtual or physical address, the first step should be understanding your business goals.
Our discovery call with our team will help you assess your needs and get tailored recommendations on the best address solution for your situation.
Not all businesses need the same type of address service, and your goals will determine the best solution.
Ask yourself the following questions to determine which address features might be essential for your business:
Sometimes, a basic virtual address just won’t cut it. If you’re dealing with Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Shopify Payments, Stripe, or trying to open a U.S. bank account, you might need more than just a virtual mailbox. That’s where a lease agreement and a utility bill in your LLC’s name come into play—because some platforms require a higher verification level.
Here’s the kicker: without the right paperwork, you’re looking at delays, rejections, and many headaches.
Most people dive in without realizing they need more than a standard address to meet these platform requirements or receive a notice that they need a utility bill, but they don’t know to which address.
That’s why we don’t just throw addresses at you—we take the time to understand your exact needs through a consultation.
Whether you need our address service or a physical office with the right lease and utility bill setup, we’ll ensure you’re playing by the rules and ready for business verification across all the platforms that matter.
Meet James, a non-resident seller from Australia. He tried to set up his U.S. LLC in Wyoming on his own, using his registered agent’s address for everything. Sounds simple, right? It wasn’t.
Here’s what went wrong:
Desperate to fix the issue, he spent over $2,500 on a physical lease, only to have that rejected too—thanks to problematic language in the lease agreement. After months of delays and $1,700 more to an Amazon appeal company, James finally got everything in order.
The total cost? Over $4,200+ and 3-4 months of headaches. Had James come to NCP first, we could have reduced the timeline to 60 days or less and saved him half the cost.
