Happens quite a bit. Couldn't give you exact numbers because it's not as if we have a survey on this anyway. Possible reasons:

Canonically, the housing wards are reserved for adventurers only. Players acknowledge this by having some adventure-related component to their FC, regardless of how well-developed that component may be.
Despite regular protests to the contrary in LFRP posts, people enjoy tavern and slice-of-life RP more than they claim, but alsoÂ like adventure and action and whatnot. FCs can handle both of those things in-house without having to go to other FCs where people are weird and strange.
It's a fairly common anime trope for a story to be centered around a mundane business acting as a front for a more adventuresome business - Sakura Taisen comes to mind, among others - and this MMO is populated by a larger-than-normal amount of weebs.

There's probably more, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head. The interesting part to me is not why people do this, but rather, what kind of stories can we make if we presume as a given that there really areÂ that many restaurants-fronting-as-smuggling-rings-fronting-as-item-shops-fronting-as-magitek-design-firms in the setting?

Every FC is a front for something?
