Key Quotes

“If you want to separate businesses for liability purposes, our favorite setup is to have one main company. That's an LLC tax and S corporation. And then any of those different businesses would be separate LLCs that are 100% owned by that S corporation. So that all these businesses that you own are flowing through that one S corporation.” – Mike Jesowshek, CPA
