A physical biz address does not mean you have to have an office.

I’ve been using my home address as the business address of my company ever since I first created it, and before that I did the same for my sole proprietorship.

I imagine their point is deciding whose home address is used among many people working on a music festival, is tough. If that person leaves/is disgruntled, it’s still THEIR name and address on the account, where as most business mail boxes can be shared.

Not sure of the legal implications of that, I’m just reading their comment how I think they meant it to be read.

If you read Stripe's notice, they need the address for sole proprieters and single member LLCs. It's not controversial nor difficult to identify who that should be.

Something I enjoy doing is looking up the true landlords of managed properties to see if they're absentee. More often than not, their business address gives me their home address somewhere across the country.

Just a thought. Nearly every landlord I've had has been an absentee landlord. Quite interesting.

This is the perfect reason for having a true separation of personal / biz addresses and the reason I went for the UPS box in the first place. Business is business and home is home. It becomes more clear if I had some sort of public persona based biz too. Youtube etc. or some controversial company, even slightly so.
