I'm not sure of any dis/advantages in doing so at this point, but  
it's an interesting question.  As a big aside, it's becoming more and  
more difficult for people like me to even get into the US for  
business reasons.

Good question.  Payroll company is Canadian and they remit the  
required CPP, employment insurance, etc to a Canadian business number  
I registered.  So we do have a business name/number in Canada already  
but it has no staff, no money, etc.  Purely a shell for payroll  
purposes and not otherwise related to the US org.

Thanks!
