It's not that simple. Banks have tighter lending standards for LLCs. It's not like any random person can form an LLC, borrow money from a bank or brokerage, YOLO it in the stock market, and walk away if the bet goes bad. In reality the lender will usually demand significant collateral and/or require the LLC owner to accept personal liability. LLCs have their uses but they aren't financial magic.

Prime brokerages only lend to institutions which pass credit checks and have sufficient collateral.
