Although most people are aware of the litigious nature of society today, they often do not follow this up with the proper planning necessary to protect their assets. It is well worth your time to put structures in place to protect you from future litigation. Without any planning, you could be putting your assets in jeopardy. 

One of the most basic ways to approach this is to put together an LLC. Even if it is basic to start with, it helps to put a distinction between you and your business. Without official making this distinction, the courts might assume there is no clear boundary. This leaves your personal assets at risk.

Additionally, be savvy about insurance. Make sure that you have considered all possible areas in which you might be exposed. Business interruption service, liability, and property and casualty insurance policies should all be considered. Review these documents annually so that you are clear that they match your evolving needs.
