What do entrepreneurs need to know about business planning?

As you begin your business, operate your existing company, or grow your operation, there are a few primary things you need to consider. These include:

Keeping your personal assets safe
Protecting your interests in your investment in the business
Making sure the business can grow and survive, even after you are gone
A good business plan can help you to accomplish all three of these goals.

You can keep personal assets safe through strategically choosing your business structure. Corporations and LLCs are among the options which allow you to operate your business as its own legal entity separate from you. By incorporating or forming an LLC instead of operating as a sole proprietorship or partnership, you can prevent a business bankruptcy from becoming a personal bankruptcy and can ensure a lawsuit against your company won’t lead to the loss of personal assets.

There are a number of ways to protect your investment in the company, many of which center around avoiding problems with co-owners and creating the right legal documents. A buy/sell agreement ensures you and the other owners have agreed upon a protocol in case anyone needs to leave. You can determine in advance how a business interest will be valued, and can make sure no one gives their share of the company to someone you don’t like. A partnership agreement, employment agreements, patents, trademarks, copyrights, non-compete agreements, and non-disclosure agreements are also different things you may need to use to protect your investment and help ensure business success.

Finally, to make sure your business can grow after you are no longer involved, you will need to create a comprehensive business succession plan. You should also think about your business as you make your estate plan, so you can avoid having estate taxes or high nursing home bills necessitate the sale of business interests.

what do you need to know about asset protection?

Business owners need to protect both their personal and company assets, so asset protection is especially complicated for entrepreneurs. However, anyone with a nest egg needs to understand the risks they face and take steps to protect their wealth.

You need to consider how your wealth could be lost. Threats can include high nursing home bills; divorce; creditor claims; bankruptcy; estate taxes; and irresponsible heirs. Mismanagement of your property and investments in case of your incapacity could also result in your assets being reduced in value.

There are legal tools which can help you to address all of these concerns. Various types of trusts can protect your assets during your lifetime, as well as once those assets have been passed on to heirs. Creating a power of attorney can also help you to name someone who will be responsible for the management of your assets in case of incapacity, so the property can be controlled by someone who understands how to protect its value.

An attorney can help you to determine what the biggest threats are to your assets and how to protect your company and your wealth.
