virtual biz setup - need advice for becoming...

[JonnieFalco]

Hi all - brand new to the forum (but long time follower/reader of Tim and others) ...

Here's what I'm trying to do so anyone who's got good answers or advice please chime in with anything helpful - (and thanks in advance)...

1. Create a virtual presence - but what appears to be a fairly decent "Fortune 500" website that is technology based in it's industry.

2. I need "formlessness" which means I plan on creating an LLC - but need a street address (so my question here is - I want to form an LLC in Wyoming or Nevada or whatever is good - any suggestions let me know) (also - can an LLC say "Jones Corporation" at the bottom or must it say "Jones LLC"? I know nobody can give legal advice - just wondering if anyone knows off hand? I would think saying "Corporation" is okay because it is, in fact, a corporation.)

3. Formelssness, continued: I don't want my name leaving footprints online - therefore the need for the LLC - but also - as Tim suggested, I need a street address (can't use my place for obvious reasons)... so If the LLC is formed in another state - and I have an address somewhere else - can - or should I combine the call center, LLC formation, and all of this into the same place - Wyoming? Or should I have a New York street address? All of which can easily be done with many virtual address companies out there - and here are a few...

..and of course Tim's suggested:

...my question is - what has anyone had experience with?

I have lots of muses that I have setup ready to roll - but this whole "formlessness" thing I'm trying to do has stopped me cold ... and I don't want to throw money down a whole - or find myself trying to control something very unwieldy ...

Ulimately - I want - A/Ease of use, B/Simplicity, C/Control D/Formlessness with NO online footprints.

Can anyone tell me if the stuff I have mentioned is good enough for this - and is forming an LLC online a pain in the rear (and what do's an don'ts do you suggest in that? Adding on the registered agent thing for a few years for the LLC, etc.?)

Thanks to everyone in advance!

What about getting your company "hosted" ?

I don't know how legal it is in your country but here in France, you can pay a flat fee to get your company "hosted" in some sort of business center : they are your street adress, and on the top of that they can also receive phone calls and some of them can even scan your physical mail and ship it to an email adress.

Maybe you can find such services ?

Well, then the thing to do would be to dump the idea. That is the best advice I can think of.

My vote is with Kamakiri on this one, partly because there's a limit to how "formless" you can be once you start working with payment processors and gateways.

Honesty is always the best way to go. I feel it is a waste of energy to try to present yourself as something you are not.

Be as you are and the picture you paint is truthfull. That will shine trough in the way your business is percieved.

Identity IS form.
