When you are the owner of a business or a professional practice, you may be concerned about litigation. You can limit your exposure if you implement the appropriate asset protection strategies. One asset protection structure that is frequently utilized by small business owners is the limited liability company or LLC.
If you create a limited liability company, the business property would be separate from your personal property. As a result, if the business was targeted by litigants, your personal property like your home, your bank accounts, etc. could not be attached.
This is one of the benefits that you gain when you create a limited liability company. Another is the fact that you enjoy what is called “pass through” taxation. You could claim your profits or losses on your personal income tax return as a self-employed individual.
Fraudulent Conveyances
A limited liability company can be a very useful asset protection structure if it is properly created at the right time, but you should definitely steer clear of fraudulent conveyances.
You cannot suddenly create a limited liability company after you find out that you are being targeted by a litigant seeking redress. This would be looked upon as a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance, and this type of reactive transfer is illegal.
