Even if you just want to give employees an interest in the company, you can't really do that because, in an LLC (like an S-Corporation) ownership comes with pretty serious tax liabilities. To most people this seems like an impossible problem to overcome. Not to Brad Bradley and Lew Semones of Senderra Funding LLC. |
