Yes.Will it help you keep your net utility expense at or close to your cap amount?

And, yes, in a lawsuit a judge might see that you are not treating your LLCs like a corporation and decide you do not deserve the protection that corporations provide.Sounds like you are being sold a lot of entities and nobody is telling you how to actually run them.I recommend this simple book from John Hyre on entities and asset protection to help.

Happy to help out Cosmo, I can tell you a bit more about the area.
