Forming an Entity for Search and Acquisition?
Are most people doing acquisitions through an LLC formed for that purpose? Any good or bad practices around entities for the acquisition? Does that LLC become owner during asset purchase?

LLC gives the flexibility to take on investors and the like. If you're going at this solo with no investors, can still use an LLC and then convert it to an S corp.

In my opinion, during the search it helps when presenting yourself to brokers, sellers, investors ... etc. In addition it helps you keep your search expenses separate from other professional or personal expenses and that can help with tax filings .. etc.
