If you have an address change for your business (within the same state), there are certain organizations you will need to contact in order to update your business address information. In some cases, Collective may be able to  assist you. Generally, you will need to update your information with the below organizations:

How to update your address

1. Update the State

Generally, you'll need to notify the state that your address has been updated. The method of updating can vary by state, so you'll need to do some research to determine how your state processes these types of updates.

2. IRS form 8822-B - Change of Address or Responsibility form

Complete the IRS change of business address form.

You'll need to sign the form and send it directly to the IRS. Learn more about how to notify IRS of the address change.

Updating your address for your business license can vary between state, cities and counties. Go to the government website where you filed your business license to find out how to update your address.
