Structure and Asset Protection for Business Owners
Asset protection for a business owner is about structure: which entities hold what, how they are kept separate, and what insurance sits behind them. This section explains what a structure protects against and what it does not. Trusts and entity documents are drafted by an attorney; a CPA sizes what the structure does to the tax picture.

Protection is a stack, not a document. An LLC formed online and never maintained protects almost nothing. A structure with real entities, real agreements, real separation, and insurance behind it protects a great deal — and the same structure is usually where the tax result comes from.
The tax mechanics of these structures live in the management-company and self-rental strategy pages.
