If you’re a small business owner, you have assets to protect. Usually associated with high income individuals and medical professionals, asset protection planning is just as necessary for owners of start-ups and small businesses.
Unfortunately, asset protection is often ignored or lost in the long list of things to do when starting or building your business. This mistake can cost you and your family when you least expect it.
What’s Involved in Protecting Your Assets?
Asset protection planning is a simple concept. First you catalogue all of your personal and business assets, such as bank and brokerage accounts, personal property and real estate, etc. Next you identify possible financial threats and then you insulate yourself from threats using a combination of different legal entities (trusts, corporations, limited liability companies, etc.) and insurance.
Properly done, this will help protect your current and future assets from loss due to the hazards of everyday life, such as lawsuits, business failures, and creditor claims.
To create an asset protection plan, you’ll need to review your potential exposure to financial loss, assess the different types of protection available, evaluate potential tax issues involved and analyze your ongoing personal financial needs, such as qualifying for mortgages and easily accessing assets when required. You should work with competent financial and legal advisors who are familiar with asset protection strategies.
Small Business Owners Beware
As a small business owner, there are several areas that warrant your concern. The first is to take financial liability issues into account when you choose the type of legal structure within which you’ll run your business (corporation, limited liability company, etc.). Once established, take care to follow the legal requirements of the entity you choose, so that you don’t jeopardize your personal assets. Some examples of this are not mixing business and personal expenses, not treating your business bank accounts as personal piggybanks, keeping necessary records, having the proper corporate officers and establishing a Board of Directors in corporations.
Personal guarantees are another common source of financial exposure. Lenders, landlords and leasing companies often ask for a personal guarantee from the owner of a small business. This means exactly what it says; you are providing a personal guarantee of repayment. If your business can’t make the payments the creditor can and will go after you and your personal assets.
Many entrepreneurs use personal credit cards and credit lines to get started. This may give you the credit you need, but it is ultimately a personal obligation. So if your business doesn’t have the cash flow to pay the bill, you’ll have to deal with these credit balances yourself. And the hefty finance charges can add up fast. Use extreme caution when leveraging personal credit for business use.
And then there is insurance. Small businesses often underinsure to keep overhead expenses low. This is risky. Losses do happen and they can quickly put an under-protected company out of business or hamper it severely. Be realistic when evaluating the type (liability, property, malpractice, etc.) and the amount of insurance you carry.
Be Safe, Not Sorry – Protect Your Assets
Depending on your individual situation, there are a variety of asset protection tools from which to choose ranging from the relatively straightforward, such as insurance, to the extremely complex involving off-shore trusts and multiple legal entities.
Seek the advice of financial planners and attorneys who specialize in this area. It is an investment in your financial security. Once you are on the wrong side of a lawsuit, it is too late to protect your assets.

Your dream of starting an internet home based business is finally coming true. You have a plan to get a website established and hosted. You have a monetization model in place (affiliate marketing, promoting your own product, or becoming an info-preneur). Your dream of firing your boss is within your grasp!
Now how do you do it without going broke?
Answer:
Money Management. You need to keep tabs on any fees you may be paying for particular services.
Follow this easy recommendation to work from home without going broke.
Budget
You need to set up a monthly allowance for your internet home business. If you are just starting out you will be operating in the red for the first couple of months. But determine your shade of red before paying for services.
You may have a tolerance for a nice deep scarlet and have deeper pockets to pay for services before your business is returning a profit. Or maybe your shade of red is more like a pink. Where your out of pocket expenses are limited to hosting fees and an ISP connection. Or maybe you are somewhere in between. Wherever you are, just be sure you do not put yourself in a bad position early on in your internet business venture.
So keep track of where your dollars are going and do not put your home business in a financial bind before getting off the ground. Determine how much money you can use to get your business up and running and begin an advertising campaign that will not place you in a financial bind.
So where is the right place to be?
Well I recommend that you develop your budget to sustain you for a period of 1 year. What that means is if you have say $100.00 to get your business up and running and you know you can spare an additional $75.00/month $35.00 hosting and $40.00 advertising (these numbers are just examples). You should be prepared to continue this $75.00 outlay for 12 months for a total of $900.00.
Now you are probably thinking “man you’re nuts I can’t afford to put aside 900 bucks for my business right now”. No maybe you can’t and you don’t have to. Remember this is the total of what you will put out of pocket for business expenses over the course of the year.
Now maybe you can only afford an outlay of $40.00/ month for advertising and hosting. That’s just fine. Or maybe you can put out $500.00/month. That’s fine too. Whatever your number is just be prepared to stick to it for at least one year. You can always adjust this number up or down depending upon how quickly your website starts to turn a profit.
If you can only afford to put out $75.00 for the first 2 months you need to adjust that number and find out what you can set aside for a period of 1 year. I say this because if you put all of your advertising dollars into the first quarter of your business you will have nothing left to keep the effort going. You will no doubt become discouraged and eventually drop your business all together.
I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU!
So please set yourself up on a Home Business Money Management schedule for long term success.
Please bear in mind I am not a financial expert. I do not have a professional degree in finances. I do not work in the financial products industry. In other words, you are using this information at your own risk.
