To make a very long story short. Over the past 4 months i started a hobby business on mainstreet in the town i live. Every month i have a net profit of about (-$200) What i basically want to do is this. Instead of paying to have employees and the storefront, i want to close down the shop and put the same amount i was spending on the store every month in stocks, bonds, CDs, real estate, etc. Can i do that with an LLC? ---

Shouldn’t be an issue. You just get an account for the business at some brokerage, but I can’t figure out why you’d want to. ---
