Why would a business block call display?

A couple of times recently I've had phone calls from businesses who block their outgoing call display, so it just shows up as "private number" on my call display. These are legitimate businesses with whom I have existing client relationships and who are calling me for a specific and necessary reason. But I didn't answer because I always let calls I don't recognize go to voicemail.

Why would a business do this? How does it help them?

I've wondered the same thing. I've had several calls like this recently, and wonder why they don't want to announce who is calling. Makes no sense to me.
