Contract with Keller Williams as a business?

Hey, I've decided to take a different angle to enter the real estate market. Becoming an agent will solve several problems I faced as a wholesaler. Plus, I'm migrating to real estate from being a full-time Software engineering Contractor, so I have the aptitude for building a contracting business.

To protect myself, I plan to operate my new real estate contracting business as a business, and not under my personal name. That will afford me asset protection, anonymity, and to some extent, tax benefits. (Ex. Car bills or mileage)

I chose Keller Williams because they are well known for their excellent training programs, but I've heard that sometimes agencies don't like to contract you under a  business name. Sometimes you need to put your name in your business name to get them to make an exception.

Does Keller Williams allow agents to contract with them as a business? I'd appreciate it if you post a link to where I can read more about their policy on this.
