If I recall correctly. A LLC is only registered in the state in which
you file. And so the protection that it offers (in terms of liability)
is only good for AZ. Where as a C-corp or S-corp while registered with
your state's Corporation Commission, has to be recognized by anyone in
the nation. The Small Business Resource Guide (which you can get free
from the Small Business Administration). Gives details on this.
