Are there any issues with filing articles of organization with an address that you know will change?



I can not answer your question as I am not a New York lawyer.(unauthorized practice and all)

However, more generally it is very common for a small business to file articles with different address and immediately amend after filing. Why? Because it is the chicken and egg problem, a business can not sign a business lease in the business name without the articles being filed and articles can not be filed with a business address before the lease is signed. Therefore it is normal course of business for small businesses to file articles with a home address, then upon formation sign a lease in the business name, then amend the articles to reflect the new business address, and all along the businesses know they will do this.

Checked out plainlegal.com (mobile), very nice.

Edit: for clarification I am a FL attorney, my old firm has offices in 7 states (including NY) and the UK
