Ohio Limited Liability Companies Doing Business Out of State

Forming a Ohio limited liability company doesn't mean your company must have all of its business offices located in Ohio.  Your Ohio LLC can have a principal business office anywhere in the world, and that address is the one you should enter for "Company Address, City, and State". If your Company does business in multiple locations, enter the address of the Company headquarters or where important Company paperwork should be sent.  Ohio law does require, however, that you maintain at least one office inside the state for the purpose of keeping important Company papers available for inspection. Many small business owners use their registered agent address (see below) as their required in-state business address.

Keep in mind that the business office address may or may not be the same thing as the registered agent address. While your business offices address can be any address in the world (including a Ohio residence) all Ohio based limited liability companies must have a Ohio address for their registered agent.
