Your growing business represents a huge investment for you. You’ve spent countless hours and likely thousands of dollars establishing your business and keeping it going — not to mention the emotional roller coaster you’ve ridden along the way. As all the blood, sweat, and tears finally begin to pay off, the best thing you can do for your business — and yourself — is protect what you’ve built.
The Solution
A solid asset protection strategy is the only way to keep your business safe from those who would use the legal system to destroy it. As you probably know, owning a business of any kind makes you more vulnerable to lawsuits. These suits can be brought for any number of reasons, including:
- An injury on your property
- Malpractice
- Mistakes in record keeping
- Employee complaints
- Undelivered promises
- Discrimination
Fair or not, a single lawsuit could put everything you have at risk. And we aren’t just talking about your business. Indeed, even your personal belongings such as real estate or other valuables could be seized to pay off creditors.
The Problem
Asset protection is absolutely necessary in today’s business environment. The problem is, in your zeal to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build, it’s easy to get caught up in “asset protection” scams that are only out to take your money — leaving your wallet empty and your business vulnerable.
So, how can you be sure your asset protection strategy isn’t a ripoff?
- Do your homework
Don’t rely on mere advertising to choose a qualified asset protection specialist. Study up on the field, ask questions, and get referrals from people you trust. You need an established firm with a track record of reliable protection. One such firm is the American Society for Asset Protection. - Be wary of “kits”
Many companies who call themselves experts will try to offer you asset protection “kits.” These problem is that most of these kits offer a very generic solution to a very specific issue. Most often, you’ll be sent a kit and then left on your own to figure it out. Asset protection is a complicated legal process fraught with potential pitfalls. Don’t rely on a kit to get the job done right. - Get personal help
Any asset protection firm that doesn’t offer personal guidance from an attorney should raise a red flag. From setting up your legal structure, to offshore holdings, trusts, and more, you’ll need an experienced expert by your side. There are simply too many variables to guess your way through.
Action is Needed – Now
No matter who you choose to set up your asset protection strategy, make sure they offer personal help guided by years of experience. But whatever you do, don’t wait. Thousands of lawsuits are filed every day in America — don’t risk being named the next defendant without protecting yourself. With the right kind of legal and financial help, you can avoid being scammed and rest assured that your assets are safe.
