Make Yourself Creditor-proof by Building
an Asset-protection Fortress
If your business is vulnerable to creditors -- without proper asset protection -- your chances of
surviving are greatly reduced.
The companies with the best chance of turnaround success are the ones that use every legal method
of limiting exposure to bloodthirsty creditors.
Most small business owners haven't done this. Maybe you never considered the possibility of being
in such a position. Maybe you don't think it possible of your particular suppliers. But believe
me, they'll watch out for themselves first. Implementing proper legal measures now is vital
to your long term success.
A solid defensive plan gives you the upper hand when you enter into debt restructuring negotiations.
When I'm engaged in a turnaround, my first objective is to review the legal structure of your company,
and make certain the business has the protection that legal entities provide. Structuring your company
using a corporate shield is vital; the most effective are the C or S Corporation, and in certain
businesses, the LLC or Limited Liability. When and if legal advice is necessary you want the best on your team.
Remember, essential to your recovery are:
- Shielding your assets from seizure
- protecting your real estate
- retaining your customers
