Don’t miss John’s key points on asset protection:
- You are your business’s most important asset. Y so you need to protect your business and your personal assets in the event of your disability.
- Further, a business overhead policy pays all of your business’s overhead expenses while you’re disabled. This way, you can keep on your staff and keep things operating at the right level.
- Also, you may have unknowingly signed personal guarantees that put your personal assets at risk if your business experiences trouble.
- Long-term leases, with elevators, frequently include personal guarantees.
- Bank loans often have covenants and restrictions with personal guarantees.
And more:
- Whether you work alone or with one or more partners or employees, you need a buy-sell agreement.
- Also, this document spells out how the owner’s (or owners’) assets and shares are transferred upon their death, disability, or retirement—or according to their activity level.
