Do I need an LLC to get a hard money loan? Do I need an EIN?
I've talked with several hard money lenders and they are all telling me they won't loan to individuals, only LLC's.
So, I just got my LLC. Do I need an EIN number for my business now? How about a business bank account and credit card. Is this just a way of separating my personal assets from my business entity assets?
