You would be best to consider the LLC route when you graduate to the point of operating a business with actual employees (not contractors).

If it means cheaper food (which it should with less overhead and employee cost) I could see it.

The PPC manager, Josh, is super easy to work with, open to ideas and suggestions, and personally works on our account; not a third party or another employee.

Fast forward to today & I own a Brokerage/Property Management company with 60+ employees & 800+ rentals.

I'm getting to the point where I will need to hire another employee in the next 6 months, but I'm just not sure what that position should be. 

@Dan Mahoney my opinion has slowly changes over the past two years lol.SFH rents have much more entitlement plus there is much more stuff they can screw up if they get pissed off.After over a few hundred investor consultants over the past couple years here is what I tell W2 employees.

@Chris CapersIf you have self-employment income and no full time employees, the Solo 401k is an option for you even if you are also employed.

I was a Federal Employee for 7 years.

We're not looking to hire an employee, but rather a recommendation of a 3rd party contractor that will bill us for their services.  

But, in general, you can’t equate a 50,000 employee shipping warehouse with an “HQ2”.
