(the creditor is now your new partner... and quite possibly the controlling partner). An LLC has protections against that happening.
Plus an LLC has much less formal paperwork than a C-corp or even an S-corp.

Been looking into this a little myself. Doesn't an C and S Corp have better tax benefits over an LLC though?
Also, almost everyone I have talked to has advised setting it up in either Nevada or Delaware, I have yet to hear any horror stories of that back firing.
