PROTECTING YOUR ASSETS
Since we work with many small businesses, our clients are often
curious about the best way to protect their business and other assets. Once a business owner has their LLC in place, that is often their first question. We sat down with Cody Keyt, the KEYTLaw office dog, to learn more about what you can do to protect your most valuable assets in your business and beyond.
It’s important for everyone to protect their assets, and it’s especially important for business owners. What would happen if you weren’t able to run your business anymore? Help yourself and your family by having a plan in place that answers these types of questions. No one wants to think about it, but trust me, it’s worse to leave these matters for your family to take care of.
Hi there! I’m back this month to share some of the things I’ve picked up around the office — other than the mail, that is.
I’ve heard my dad, Ricky, talk a lot about how you can’t wait when it comes to protecting your business. By putting an asset protection plan in place, you help ensure your family members are taken care of without uncertainty after you pass and that your assets won’t be left to the state. Health care documents are a big part of creating this plan. They outline directions for what you want carried out if something were to happen to you. These are not things you’d want to leave a family member to deal with, and by putting your plan into writing, you help ensure your children or relatives won’t be tasked with making that difficult decision.
