Hello,In December of 2011, I registered an LLC. When filing my paperwork, I used my home address for everything as this business was slated to be home-based for the first 12-18 months. I have not yet filed my local and county business license applications as the business is not scheduled to open until April 1, 2012. At the beginning of this year, my business partner and I realized that doing combined business from the home wasn't ideal. We found it difficult to have meetings with web designers, IT companies, etc. We decided that for our type of business that we needed office space which we could both utilize. We have negotiated a lease agreement at a commercial office building and have begun to move in. Type of business: Aircraft charter sales and management. No retail goods sold or purchased. We sell charter trips and manage corporate aircraft for which we retain a percentage service fee. Question 1: Since my business is registered with the state of Florida at my home address, do I need to change this to my office address? If so, how and with what agency?Question 2: My new office is in a different city, same county as my registered home business. If I do not need to change my offical, physical address with the sate, do I only need a business license for the city in which business is conducted, along with the county license? Thank you!
You can easily amend your LLC registration. Simply go to the web site of the state agency with which you originally registered your business, often the Secretary of State's office, and look for the form to amend an LLC registration. Fill it out and return it with any required filing fee.
You will obtain a business license from the city in which the business is physically located. Some states collect sales tax on certain types of services, as well as on products. You may want to check with your state tax commission or revenue department to find out if you must have a sales tax permit.

You need to change your physical address since you were transferring into a new place, so that whenever you have transaction needed to deliver on your door you can have them by updating your current address. You need also to get in touch with the local community where your new office is established.
