About the Pennsylvania address requirement
PA requires a registered office (commercial address) in PA — not just a registered agent.
Our $2,000 bundle includes 12 months of mail at our real LA address (5062 Lankershim Blvd) — accepted by the IRS for EIN, by banks, and by every state that allows out-of-state mailing addresses on their filings. For your state-specific registered agent we partner with licensed agents in all 50 states.
