Is there an advantage to having the transferee listed as corporate over individual.  I have my own business and was curious about this.  Also what is a "Trust" transferee?

A Corp./Trust does not have to submit the usual fingerprints, picture ID, or obtain CLEO signatures.
The problem with Corp./Trust ownership is that the "entity" owns the item and not the person.  Paperwork must be filed annually on corp.

While an individual must obtain a CLEO signature and submit prints and ID pictures .. HE OWNS the item and not a paper entity.  

Corp./Trust are easier in the short run –– and require long-term maintenance.

Individual must jump through a few more hoops initially but once the NFA papers are approved HE OWNS the item and has no long-term maintenance to deal with.
