Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you. As others have said a brand new LLC is a no-go as far as financing goes unless you personally guarantee the loan. You will more than likely have to sign personal guarantees for the near future in you LLC as well. Single member LLC's are treated as sole proprietors for tax purposes on the Fed level and most states as well. However liability is a different story. You may want to look at renting/leasing the machine to your LLC for liability reasons. Check with your insurance agent and accountant.
