Youtube is full of videos telling how important is to open a virtual business address in order to hide your home address from the public records, and file your LLC with the virtual address as your primary address. I followed the recommendation and open virtual address with the real street (not PO box), but now:
-
I can’t get business license with the city since they do not accept virtual address
-
Banks do not want to open business account on the address, saying they “do not accept C/O address”
I wonder what I might have missed, or why all the hype is about, if all you can do with the virtual address is to file with the state, but not city and not even open a business bank account
When you open business bank account, for example, Chase business checking account, they ask you to fill in your “primary business address” which they could very well check with what you have in the Secretary of State records. Same can do my city business unit, not sure it’s good idea having totally different addresses in those systems, they all call it “primary business address”, so I bet they mean the same thing, so specifying your home address while having different address on file in Secretary of State is kind of lying
