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:

  1. I can’t get business license with the city since they do not accept virtual address

  2. 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
