@Rachel Underwood, I hate to say, disregard my "congratulations" comment, but I made an error, however, I am sure you are making boss moves or about to make one, so on that note, "congratulations!"

I think what Michael is getting at is there are no income tax advantages involved in creating an LLC taxed as a disregarded entity or partnership.Ability to pool capital and asset protection are outside the realm of income tax, and are important too, just not the question he's asking.And, unlike a sole proprietor or S Corp in GA, LLCs are not required to make someone a partner if that someone invests capital into the LLC.I'm not following you here...you're asserting sole proprietors and S Corps in GA are unable to finance themselves with debt instruments?

@Jon Schwartz, Disregarding lengthy deployments,  Japan has been incredible!

@Jeffrey Sicat I hope I can help shed some light on quotations you had.If you are creating a single member LLC, this is called a disregarded entity with the IRS.

Your suggestion lumps in all of the possible rewards and disregards any risk. 

I filled out form SS-4 as a Foreign-Owned US-disregarded entity Form 5472, and faxed it to the IRS.

If you have a single member LLC, the Federal IRS treats it as a "disregarded entity" --- basically, it doesn't see the LLC as another legal entity so the LLC's filing is with your own personal return. 

@Summer NoyesI pretty much disregard the asking price.  

The LLC will then be disregarded for taxes and serve purely for legal protection if operated correctly.
