The fact is that there are so many risks involved in acquiring assets. The more you accumulate, the more you risk to lose. Taking time to sit with professionals who can weigh in certain circumstances that threaten what you have worked hard for can save your family's future.

What are Possible Scenarios That Risk Assets Held?

Different kinds of investments entail different risks. There is no asset that guarantee the legal owner a future of wealth. Owning assets - whether it is business assets, family-owned assets or personal assets - require an asset protection structure to minimize any risk to potentially lose what you've worked hard for.

Certain circumstances cause significant losses of assets and net worth of individuals who worked hard to accumulate the asset.

Here are just a few possible scenarios on how one can potentially lose control of their wealth.

Wrong business structure

A corporation works as a separate legal entity from the business owner, minimizing business risks to the individual owners. On the contrary, businesses listed under a sole trader run the risk of exposing their personal assets when they build a business.

This means that creditors and investors can go after investment properties and assets in the own name of the trader if things go south. Naming assets under de facto partner names would not be a solution. Some creditors and financial companies can go after the de facto partner's assets as well.

On the other hand, a company structure under a corporation protect assets in the personal name of the business owners. Creditors can only go after assets owned by the corporation.

Creating a business structure is not as easy as deciding based on the liability of the owners though. There are many factors that consider the legal, financial and personal aspects of the business owners. Sofra Partners aim to protect your assets with all these in mind.

Investment property risks

There are dangerous fallacies about owning assets. One of the most dangerous ones is that investment property is an insurance for future wealth. Some would even dare claim it is a passive income - accruing in value every year without any risks of being stolen.

Owning property is a big responsibility that requires careful thought. Property investors need to stay on top compliances to avoid costly consequences. While people argue that tax benefits from owning property makes it an "easy business" - property investors face serious risks of losing their property without a credible company to protect the asset.

Rental property risks

Contrary to prevailing myths, rental properties can be a high risk business without asset protection strategies in place.

Legal fees from an injured tenant can amount to significant losses; taxes and compliances can be costly without a solid tax strategy; or frivolous creditors can jack up interest rates. Many more situations can be avoided with a team of professionals who are capable of protecting assets.
