LIMITED PERSONAL LIABILITY THROUGH ENTITY PROTECTION

ENTITY PROTECTION PROVIDES LIMITED PERSONAL LIABILITY

Introduction and the Importance of Your Nevada Business Lawyer

Operation of a business through the formation of a valid Nevada entity is important because it significantly limits one’s exposure to personal liability (especially in Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, and Limited Partnerships). In general, shareholders, officers and directors in a corporation; members of an LLC; and limited partners in a limited partnership are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the entity, which is legally treated as a separate “person.” This provides that unless there is misconduct, the owner’s own possessions are protected by law, if the business does not succeed or incurs liabilities itself. Prior to making any decision regarding entity protection contact your Nevada business lawyer to ensure that your rights are protected and that you choose the entity that best suits your business goals.
