Ross,
 
Depending on your circumstances & needs that is one of the approaches.  The purpose of a C-Corp as the manager of the LLC is several fold.  First there are some deductions you can pick up under the C-Corp that I don't think are available in the LLC.  One of the big reasons is that a lot of investors will ultimately get into investing in real estate along with the market.  When you get into real estate investments they recommend you set up each property in a separate LLC with the C-Corp as the manager of each one.  Each LLC pays the C-corp a management fee.  You write up resolutions in your C-Corp to cover expenses beyond regular operating expenses such as being reimbursed for any & all medical expense (100% deductible), paying board members a salary (such as your children, in-laws you may help support, etc.), salary to officers, IRA accounts for officers, as well as other expenses to numerous to mention.
 
The bottom line is Asset Protection & keeping as much of your profits as possible, legally of course.  If you go to www.bossoffice.com they have a free e-booklet on Asset Protection available that might be of help.  I've never read it as I took an asset protection course from the law firm that is connected with BOSS but believe it should contain some beneficial information.
 
Hope this helps.
 
John

We just spoke with a lawyer this afternoon and he did mention
an LLC taxed as a C-corp.

We never got into having a C-corp as a managing partner.

Id love to know the differences, pros and cons if anyone here knows, or where one could find out more?

Thx,
Ross

If you have a C-Corp as you managing partner then are you not simply handling the taxation the same as LLC taxed as a C-Corp? so know all you are doing is extra paperwork... could be wrong here.

I'm sure a trust works in some instances.  There are asset protection reasons as well as some tax benefits to trading in an LLC with a C Corp as the manager.

Clay,
Personally I'd give it a strong thumbs up.  If you decide to do it you might check with Boss Office for pricing before you jump in with Traders Accounting, I've heard Traders is much higher priced than Boss.  Boss (or more precisely their affiliated law firm) set my entities up & Boss handles every thing for me, meeting minutes, taxes, etc.  And their customer service is great!  If I can give you any other info about this feel free to email me direct.
 
John

I had a company in Phoenix (Traders Accouning) recommend an LLC to trade in with a C-Corporation as the general managing partner. I know the benefits of this set up. I know the tax savings. However, I don't know the difficulty of day to day use (tax preparation, paperwork, new bank accounts and credit cards...). My question is one that could get bogged down in lots of details, and I know every situation is unique, but my question is to those that have this setup. On the whole, would you give it a thumbs up or thumbs down for recommending it?
Clay
