I would use fields as follows:
First Name
Last Name
Title
Company
Street Address
City
State
Postal Code
Mailing Address
City
State
Postal Code
"Street Address" is standard for physical address. Adding "Company" to the
name/address area in effect asks the customer for their work address. Home
users will leave that field blank.
Hope this helps.
