    I appreciate your content. I would suggest people also consider the following. 1) the list of regulations, accounting costs huge difference, set up, servicing costs for the s-corp are substantial vs the LLC. 2) If an LLC is producing a K1 distribution into a SCH C the very same FICA tax benefit deduction is also available as employer/employee reducing the $15,300 tax to $7650. 3) depending on state income tax laws the tax on profits to an S corp far exceed the tax limits on revenues to an LLC $11,790 vs $15,000 on business revenues of $5mil with profits of $1mil in California. 4) once you start an S-corp you cant go back to an LLC but if you start as LLC you can always go to S corp status

With the area that I am in and the demand for what is being requested I feel 1000% positive on this idea. It’s just time to make this dream a reality one step at a time #BBO ❤
