    One of our customers operates out of two leased “office” trailers next to an old pole barn in the middle of a corn field.

    From there, they “operate” 17 different companies, all demanding separate billing from us.

    There’s no WAY it’s legit. They have more “official” registered companies than they have office employees.

    Edited because mobile sucks

      Could it be a landlord situation? It’s pretty cheap to open an LLC. Sometimes landlords will open many of them, an LLC for every rental property they own. It protects them from liability. If something goes really wrong and a tenant sues them for big $$$, the most they risk losing is the single rental house the tenant is renting.

        Ironically that’s one of the things they don’t claim to be involved in.

        To list some of the things they claim to do
        Construction
        Hydro excavating
        “Tribal Economic Development”
        Native American health insurance
        “Health” supplements (think: “vitality” pills)
        Renewable Energy projects
        Manufacturing
        Finance
        Industrial development (though never actually heard of a won bid)
        (all of these entities are “owned” by a Native American- which I’ve alwas suspected is for tax benefit purposes)
