The fact that an LLC can be pierced and offers questionable liability protection for the individual(s) {natural or entity} who own it, and the comparatively litigious nature of the U.S.A., is why we do all business in the U.S.A. from a Canadian corporation (i.e. we would never own a U.S.A. corporation or LLC directly in our own names).
