Stealth business account - thing of the past?
 

PP wants a SSN for any type of business account if you start with one from the get-go so I think it's off the table unless I find a family member who doesn't care about someone messing with their taxes, ha!

Considered opening a foreign business PP account that would receive funds from a business that operated in the US (me). I think I could use HSBC as the bank. Anyone know what's required of business PP accounts from CA, UK, AUS, or other country that doesn't require immediately identifying info to establish?

You wouldn't need to go the business route with a CA account.

IDK what the opening requirements are for a business CA PP, but their personal accounts will run fine indefinitely without any identifying info.

for USA, open personal account, then when needed upgrade to business.
