My solution to this problem was to, instead of getting a PO Box, get a mailbox at The UPS Store (or one of its competitors). Since this will give your business a real street address, you can serve as RA for your company. Plus, there always will be live person available to sign for any packages you receive and having a real street address will allow you to receive shipments from anyone (some shippers won’t ship to PO Boxes). One added benefit is that it makes your business look more legitimate than listing a PO Box on your business card.

Jonathan: Correct. We pay our attorney $50/year to serve as the RA.

I don’t think you can use a PO Box as the address for the registered agent, however. You’ll either have to pay someone to act as your reg. agent or use another “real” address.

Good idea about the PO Box. I expect to register my wife’s business this year and probably switch to a PO Box. Luckily, the post office is nearby and convenient.
