For many families, a business represents their most valuable asset, one that needs to be protected from a wide range of potential threats. Frivolous lawsuits and the inability to access assets if the business owner dies or becomes incapacitated, for example. Other issues include how your business can be passed 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.
