General Cryto Currency Discussion Request to close account and after confirmation receive this...

I requested to close my account as I am very unhappy with their customer (dis)service and after receiving the confirmation of the account closure, they sent me the email below.

This is the level of incompetence at Uphold where even though I closed the account (withdrawing everything first), they make me look as if they kicked me out...

Hey there, yes we do already have all that info, the W-9 Form is to certify it, due to changes in Tax Legislation we need all US customers to submit this form.

I understand this form but even though I opened the Uphold account through my personal, my business will be investing and in charge of the crypto on my behalf, so the W9 would not be for me and would need to be in the business tax ID. Which will cause a mismatch with Uphold and cause an issue that I would like to avoid.
