As a small business owner myself Felix Hernandez Mariners Jersey , I have constant concerns on how to increase profit, control costs, and limit the exposure to events that will put me out of business. Like most businesses, mine includes costs for an accountant, networking groups, advertising and professional fees and dues.


However Jay Bruce Mariners Jersey , in my experience as a business, contract and litigation attorney, most businesses fail to account for the most important part of running a business – a strong relationship with an attorney.


Business owners, ask yourself:


Are you incorporated as a corporation, established as a limited liability company (LLC) and do you know the difference?


If you are not incorporated as a corporation or established as an LLC, do you know how liability works in a partnership?


Do you have bylaws Edwin Encarnacion Mariners Jersey , a membership agreement or an operating agreement?


Did you buy your corporate documents from a printing company with a nice leather-bound book but have not yet opened it?


Did you fill out any of the documents necessary to create corporate entity protection? In other words, is that nice leather-bound book simply collecting dust?


Do you call and conduct annual meetings?


Did you actually issue your stock certificates or membership certificates?


Do you pay your personal bills with your business account?


Do you have a business bank account?


Did an attorney write your contracts between you and your customers, vendors, contractors and shareholders?


Who do you call when you have legal problems or any business-related questions?


Most businesses fail to secure corporate protection whey start up. In fact, it seems most small business owners I encounter file their articles of incorporation, obtain an employer identification number (EIN) from the IRS Ichiro Suzuki Mariners Jersey , open a bank account and they are off and running. But, without taking the time to secure the protections which are the whole point of incorporation or establishment as an LLC, the problems may be significant in the future.


Now, I am not suggesting that legal liability is an everyday occurrence. It is usually only a once-in-a-business event. However, if your corporate structure is questioned, it can be catastrophic. To offer an analogy Cool Base Randy Johnson Jersey , most serious problems with a company are similar to a tornado or hurricane. When the corporate structure is attacked and you are personally exposed, it is what Billy Bob Thorton’s character in Armageddon called a 鈥済lobal killer.鈥?


If a customer, business partner, or even a spouse in a divorce question whether the company is actually a recognized company or what lawyers call an 鈥渁lter ego鈥?of yourself, there can be serious consequences. The entire purpose of setting up a company is to protect you personally: your house, your car Cool Base Ken Griffey Jersey , your investments, your personal bank accounts, and so on and so on. If you do not set up your company correctly, all of your personal assets can be exposed to creditors.


When clients come to my office and ask for assistance in setting up their company, I quote them a price that may, depending on their business needs Cool Base Jay Buhner Jersey , have two or three zeros. In contrast, when clients come to me after a lawsuit has been filed鈥攁nd the other party is trying to show that the corporation was not set up correctly and now the client is in fear of personal exposure to creditors鈥擨 am forced to quote a possible retainer of three, four, sometimes five zeros to defend the case.
