Understanding the Role of Corporations in Asset Protection The primary function of a corporation is to shield the owner’s personal assets (or the assets of other businesses) from the liabilities of the business itself. While a limited liability company (LLC) can also achieve this goal, corporations are generally less effective for personal asset protection.

Potential Drawbacks to Consider Using a corporation for personal asset protection comes with two significant disadvantages:

1. Asset Transfers: Moving assets to and from a corporation can have various legal and financial implications.
2. Personal Creditors: Personal creditors can seize your corporate shares and any obligations owed to you by the corporation.

LLCs and limited partnerships (LPs) often offer better solutions for personal asset protection, providing benefits that corporations cannot. An asset protection lawyer can help you understand these options and determine the best strategy for your situation.
