	It's probably not worth the trouble, but I think anyone can start a US LLC and use the tax identification of that business to buy I-bonds.

No, only individuals can buy I-bonds.

EDIT: that's not right. please see below.

This is not correct.

Individuals can buy $10K/yr. Married couples can each buy $10K/yr, and you can buy the same amount for children.

Also, businesses can buy $10K/yr, trusts can buy $10K/yr, and you can purchase $5K/yr with a tax refund.

It would be not unusual to be able to buy $45K/yr (4-person household), and if one of the family is self-employed, $55K/yr.

....

That said, don't buy lots of I bonds without first considering the advantages of TIPS!

Ah, you're right. I had misread this chart earlier. Sorry about that.
