Challenge

Marcus Hayes, owner of Hayes Rentals LLC, discovered his personal home address was publicly listed on state records. A tenant behind on rent used this information to show up at his doorstep, raising major privacy and safety concerns.

Results

By using Main Street Business Services’ Privacy Address and Registered Agent solutions, Marcus removed his home address from public records and ensured all legal notices are routed securely. He now runs his business with peace of mind, knowing his personal information and family are protected.

Key Product

I never thought my home address being listed on business filings was a big deal—until a tenant showed up at my door. Main Street Business Services gave me peace of mind. Now I know my personal information is safe, and I can focus on running my rental business without that constant worry."

Hayes Rentals LLC

Marcus Hayes, owner of Hayes Rentals LLC, manages several residential rental properties. While his business was running smoothly, an incident with a tenant exposed a major vulnerability in how his company information was listed publicly.

The Challenge

When a tenant fell behind on rent, Marcus followed procedure and sent a formal notice. What he didn’t expect was for the tenant to look up his company on the Secretary of State website—where Marcus’s personal home address was listed.

Shortly after, the tenant showed up uninvited at Marcus’s front door. The experience was unsettling and raised real concerns about the safety of his family and his privacy as a business owner. Marcus needed a solution that would keep him compliant while protecting his personal information from being exposed online.

The Solution

Marcus partnered with Main Street Business Services and signed up for two key offerings:

  • Privacy Address Service – His home address was replaced with a secure business address for state filings, IRS correspondence, and even his own website.

  • Registered Agent Service – All official documents, notices, and service of process were routed through Main Street Business Services instead of being delivered directly to his home.

This approach provided Marcus with both legal compliance and the privacy protection he urgently needed.

The Results

  • Marcus’s personal address was removed from public business filings.

  • He now has a professional Registered Agent handling all legal correspondence.

  • His family and home are no longer exposed through state records.

  • He can focus on growing his rental business without worrying about unwanted visitors.
