How do you set up a business address with a more high status address?

Question

Hello,

I am an inventor. I am currently working on many different aspects of my line....i.e. marketing,promoting,web design,but I wanted to also get some cards made as well as get an address that is more of a high status level......like on Michigan ave. in Chicago instead of my home address which is in the burbs. How do I set up a secondary "fake" address (without it looking like a po box) to give the illusion of a larger business in the beginning until my idea takes off?

I'm not trying to con anyone at all. It's just like agencies that answer calls for you that make you seem larger than you are. It just makes your company seem stronger and more stable. I just want to make our company shine like the big companies. Many starter companies give the illusion of high status in the beginning and that is how a lot of people succeed. The saying goes....fake it till you make it!

Answer 1

I should not bother if I were you. If your inventions (products) are of good quality, it would not matter where you are based. If you start out trying to con your customers, where will it end?You are going about business in the wrong way if you do this.

Answer 2

you can rent a post office box but not from the post office, if you rent from the post office then you are requied to use a po address, but if you rent from a private post office then you can use anything for your box number, example,

joe doe
123 michigan ave suite 2
chicago ill 111120

the only problem using this kind of address if you have sales reps calling on you

Find a lawyer, consultant or agent who will represent you, or at least let you use their address.
