How Do We Protect You?
We custom design the proper mix of protective structure for your unique business needs. We have many choices to choose from.
Friendly liens can be placed on business assets
Holding entities that can be limited liability companies, limited partnerships, corporations or asset protection trusts can be formed to hold valuable business assets and lease them back to the operating entity on favorable terms.
Aged entities can be provided if necessary
The operating entities which are the ones most likely to be sued will hold little incentive for a greedy attorney if they hold no assets
Agreements with the valuable asset holding entities can be structured to prevent use of the asset to the operating entity in the event of lawsuits, involuntary bankruptcy, judgments or any kind of creditor attack
Call us for consultation on which entity(ies) is best for your needs. We can assist you in designing a business asset protection plan that will keep your creditors at bay and meet your needs for business and personal provacy.

Remember an attorney only needs 10 minutes on a computer to find out everything you, your spouse, your children, your in-laws and all relatives have every owned or currently own. If they find assets in your name or your business name, then you and your business will become a target. Placing assets in the names of friends and family does not work. It is fraudulent conveyance and will cause the judge to unwind the transfer. It can also cause gift tax issues of up to 35% to 40% with the IRS plus state tax issues.
Over 2/3 of all judgments exceed the liability insurance coverage limits. You or your business is liable for the excess. Attorneys' income comes mostly from filing lawsuits against business owners. They file 55,000 lawsuits every single day in the U.S. The only way to guarantee you cannot lose anything to a lawsuit is to have business asset protection in such a way that no judge or attorney can find or seize business or personal assets.
