Asset
Protection/Personal
Liability
Shield
One
of the primary
concerns
of most individuals
contemplating
starting
a business
is that of
ensuring
asset protection
and protection
from personal
liability.
While Sole
Proprietorships
and General
Partnerships
are very
economical
ways to begin
engaging
in business
with some
tax and other
advantages,
these types
of business
entities
have the
enormous
drawback
of providing
no shield
to its owners
from liability
for the company's
debts and
other liabilities.
Other entity
options,
however,
provide this
personal "liability
shield",
when formed
and operated
properly.
At
R. D. Johnson & Associates,
we understand
and are
sensitive
to your
need
for optimum
asset
protection
and shielding
from
personal
liability.
Therefore,
we offer
a free
initial
half
hour
consultation,
wherein
we will
discuss
your
business
entity
options
and how
we can
best
help
to ensure
that
you and
your
business
associates
receive
and maintain
sufficient
asset
protection
and are
shielded
from
personal
liability.
Which
Business
Entity
Should
I Choose?
There
are several
business
entity
options
available
in Nevada
and elsewhere,
including
(but not
limited
to): Corporations,
Limited
Liability
Companies,
Limited
Partnerships,
General
Partnerships,
and Sole
Proprietorships.
In making
the decision
as to which
entity
type to
choose,
there are
many factors
that should
be carefully
considered
for each
possible
entity
type, including:
the cost
of formation,
the ease
or complexity
of formation,
the formalities
legally
required
to maintain
the entity,
the transferability
of the
business
interests/ownership,
tax consequences,
etc.
During
your free
consultation,
R. D. Johnson & Associates
will be
happy to
explore
the entity
options
with you
and help
you to
ascertain
which entity
would best
suit you
and your
new business.
Why
Form
a Business
in Nevada?
Nevada
(often
called
the "new

of all
types.

Reporting
and Disclosure
Requirements
- Stockholders
are not
Public
Record
(i.e.,
bearer
shares
are allowed
in Nevada)
(maintaining
maximum
Stockholder
anonymity & privacy)
- Only
one person
is needed
to create
and maintain
a legal
Corporation
or LLC
- Stockholders,
directors
and officers
need
not live
or hold
meetings
in Nevada,
or even
be U.S.
citizens
- Directors
need
not be
stockholders
- Officers
and directors
of a
Nevada
corporation
or LLC
can be
protected
from
personal
liability
for lawful
acts
of the
corporation
or LLC
- Nevada
corporations
may purchase,
hold,

or transfer
shares
of its
own stock
- Nevada
corporations
may issue
stock
for capital,
services,
personal
property,
or real
estate,

transactions,
and their
decision
is final.
Why
Choose
an Attorney
to Incorporate
My Business?
While
there are
currently
many non-attorney
incorporation
services
now available
which tout
their low
incorporation
fees, there
a number
of very
real reasons
why you
should
choose
a licensed
Attorney
to form
your new
business,
including:
- Non-Attorney
individuals
and companies
cannot
lawfully
provide
you with
legal
advice
concerning
the formation
and maintenance
of your
company.
- Many
of these
individuals
and companies
fees
are so
low because
they
do not
provide
all of
the services
needed
to complete
the incorporation
and formation
filing
and process
for full
compliance
with
the applicable
Nevada
statutes.
This
may lead
to your
paying
even
more
fees
in the
long
run.
- Some
of these
companies
and individuals,
while
advertising
that
they
are "incorporating" a
company
for you,
actually
only
form
an entity
with
themselves
shown
as legal
owner
and then "sell" the
consumer
a corporate
or LLC "shell".
Some
unwitting
consumers
are then
left
on their
own,
not knowing
that
additional
filings
and procedures
are required
until
they
discover
that
their
entity
charter
has been
revoked
or that
may be
subjected
to personal
liability
are then
hit with
additional
fees
and costs
to bring
the entity
into
compliance.
- Many
of these
entities
only
provide
you with
non-customized
Forms
that
may or
may not
fit your
company's
specific
needs.
- An
Attorney,
on the
other
hand,
can assess
your
specific
needs
and provide
you with
valuable
legal
advice
and a
customized
entity
formation
that
may save
you hundreds
or thousands
of dollars
in the
long
run.
- An
Attorney
can provide
you with
ongoing
legal
advice
and assistance
to help
ensure
that
your
company
continues
to provide
you and
your
associates
with
the personal
liability
shield
that
is critical
to ensure
that
the individuals
are not
saddled
with
costly
personal
judgments
and other
problems.
- An
Attorney
can provide
your
business
with
ongoing
legal
advice
and assistance
to help
you make
important
decisions
that
may greatly
impact
your
company.
