The Laughing Lady works this way, too. It's mainly a set of RP linkshells (one OOC, one IC) for the tavern, and then the associated FC is mainly just for the convenience of people who want to help run (OOCly) the thing. This lets us have plenty of patrons from different FCs, and it provides enough flexibility so that we can simultaneously have IC tavern RP, OOC discussion about the RP as it happens, plus FC-only discussion about things we want to bring into it, all at the same time.
The NHSC, on the other hand, is strictly just a linkshell. It probably could be a free company, but I like people being able to participate without leaving their current FC.
So, I guess, it's really up to you and what you want for your FC/LS.
