BOI Report as non-resident foreigner LLC owner

Hi, this is my first time on this platform and I would like to share my greetings with everyone. I’ve recently started my company as a Single member LLC in Florida using a 3rd party registered agent. I’ve obtained my EIN , formation letter. Opened a bank account with Mercury using my registered agent address. I’m stuck with the BOI report filing as my registered agent mentioned that it’s not possible to file the BOI unless I have a physical address in the US. “ PO Box , Virtual Office not accepted “ As I don’t live in the US I have no idea how to overcome this issue while I’m running out of time. I have already purchased the BOI filing with my agent but they can’t proceed because I didn’t provide an address. In this situation what are my options ? P.S: I have no one in the US to use their address , I know literally no one. but I do have a virtual mailing office also using a 3rd party agency. I’d appreciate any help I’m booked with James for a call on 29th Feb. But if I get my answer I would cancel it to give a chance for other people to talk early.

@James Baker Thank you very much James. Your message encouraged me to file the report myself. It was very disappointing that northwest RA, being their clients, did not give us a "correct" solution. In February they told me that they were working on a solution for their international clients. I did not receive any follow-up from them since then, despite many emails I sent, until the deadline to submit my report arrived and I had to do it on my own.

Best Payment Method(s) to utilize

Hello LLC Community! With your experience and knowledge, in your opinion, what is the best method to use to start receiving payments for my new business? Stripe? Venmo? Plaid? Melio? Square? Gusto? Wise? Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

@Tandra Brooks Hello. Sure, I can help or guide you depending on what you need. What type of web platform are you looking to make?

@Hh Ll If you are a non-resident, and you want to use PayPal, you should consider processing your ITIN, because you will surely need it when PayPal freezes your funds.

Some payment processors or banks may require you to upload letter 147c or cp 575. I have opened my account with both Relay and Mercury, but I cannot recall if they asked me to upload either of these letters. My suggestion is that you attempt to open your account with both banks using the number provided by Rocketlawyer. If either bank requests one of these two letters, then you'll have to wait.

Virtual US Adress Necessary for LLC Registration as Non US Resident ?

Hey Guys , all incorporation services offer a virtual mail adress for a monthly Fee (Postbox) as a service BUT.....is it really necessary to have one to register the LLC or to apply for the EIN ??? i´m not certain about that. since all the business communication with the authoroties is handled by the registered Agent through his Adress @James Baker would be great if you can enlighten this point to us. thank you 🙏

In my experience, you do not need to buy a mail address service. The address of your registered agent is enough.
