Frustrating for you perhaps, but for younger internet users who are in their teens and early 20's, Facebook is what they are used to and have come to expect.
Adapt or...nevermind.

Dig deeper. The new FB page options allows you to browse fb as a user. Why would you want to set up a business account?

So fuck verifying.

Simply change your city/town to your present one under "about/living". No need to verify.

All the better to create an alternate persona. Who says that you have to give them information that is 100% correct and factual. C'mon now...seriously?
