Chicken or Egg Question

[Bradley Wood]

I am forming a company and I would like to start building my business credit. I was wondering if it is more beneficial to find a virtual office first and then file the articles of incorporation with my state or if I could file first and then find a virtual office. I just don't want to go back later and have to reorganize things. 

Anyone encountered this?

@Bradley Wood I think there is a lot to unpack here. Why are you looking to build your business credit? Of course, credit is important, but I haven't found that my business's credit has been all that impactful. Also, why are you looking for a virtual office? It likely varies from state to state, but I have formed a dozen LLCs and never had to set up a virtual office. I would research the requirements for your state/situation and make sure you're not wasting time/money/effort on things that don't truly matter.
