For many individuals and families, a business represents their most valuable asset, one that needs to be protected from a wide range of potential threats. These can include frivolous lawsuits or the inability to access assets if the business owner dies or becomes incapacitated. Other important issues include how to pass your business on to the next generation (especially if there are concerns about your children or their spouses), tax minimization, how to deal with partners or other owners, and many more.
