Pros: none.
Cons: lots of extra work to make it legal (if it's even allowed) and expect banks to ask a lot of extra questions.
AFAIK, minors can never be directors, managers, or managing partners (i.e. anything that requires a legally binding signature) but they can be shareholders or members in some jurisdictions (such as US and UK).

Through parents or in some countries, minors can also open a company after checking their mental maturity
Was just to say so, have seen many examples of such cases where it has been done. But you really need to ensure that the teeny brain not goes crazy at some point and f**k it all up.
