    Facts:

    Client, A, is a multimember LLC taxed as a S Corp. Prospective investor, B, is a partnership/corporation/non allowable shareholder.

    Can B form a new llc, C, of which it is the sole owner, and then have C invest in A?

    Thank you for your responses.

    Side note, there should be a Forum topic for “practical application/ real life questions”.

    My gut feeling is no. Shareholders of an S-corp must be natural persons, which is the rule that disallows Corps and Partnerships.
    If you focus on the no corps and no partnerships rule, then an LLC seems the logical next step, but that does not meet the natural person test.
