Form 1583, address type, storage and business use

LLC, IRS and bank use (provider's own words)
US Global Mail says the address 'works as a mailing address for banks, federal agencies, registrations, IRS filings, state agencies and vendor forms', and that you can use it 'for IRS filings, state registrations, bank accounts'. That is the provider's claim; banks set their own rules (see our LLC & bank guide).
