The Key to Safeguarding Your Business Assets
Introduction
In today's litigious environment, the risk of facing a lawsuit looms over every business, whether due to negligence, product defects, or employee disputes. One effective strategy to mitigate these risks is through incorporation.
Protecting Personal Assets Through Incorporation
Incorporating your business can create a legal barrier between your personal and business assets. This means that if your business faces a legal judgment, your personal assets like your home, savings, and stocks remain protected. However, the assets owned by the business itself are still vulnerable. But there’s an effective way to shield these as well.
Double Incorporation Strategy for Business Asset Protection
The double incorporation strategy is a powerful approach for businesses with significant, high-value assets that are susceptible to litigation. While incorporation protects your personal assets, it does not necessarily safeguard valuable business assets like machinery, office equipment, software, or intellectual property. If a lawsuit results in a judgment against your business, these assets could be at risk.
The double incorporation strategy involves creating two separate business entities:
1. The "At Risk" Business: This entity handles interactions with customers and clients.
2. The Holding Corporation: This entity owns your valuable business assets. It leases these assets to the "at risk" business.
If the "at risk" business is sued, the holding corporation simply reclaims its assets, leaving the plaintiff with limited recourse, as the "at risk" entity holds few assets of its own. Essentially, while the plaintiff may win the case, they receive minimal compensation.
Conclusion
While many understand that incorporation can protect personal assets, extending this protection to business assets through a double incorporation strategy can be invaluable. If your business possesses significant high-value assets, this approach might be the perfect solution to safeguard them from potential litigation.
