An easy way around this dilemma is to keep in mind that all business insurance and all policy types<br />

cover<br />

One of four things:<br />

<strong>Property</strong>,<br />

Liability,<br />

People or<br />

Income<br />

<strong>Property</strong>: The property used in your business such as the structure you do business in or the vehicles<br />

used in your business need to be protected.<br />

Liability: No one is perfect, your business may make a mistake and, especially if your business is open to<br />

the public, there is always the chance your business will be held liable for an injury or error.<br />

People: At the heart of every business are its people. You and your officers, managers and employees are<br />

the company's greatest assets and must be protected.<br />

Income: Without income the business does not survive<br />

What is a protected asset?<br />

Asset protection is a type of planning intended to protect one's assets from creditor claims.<br />

Individuals and business entities use asset protection techniques to limit creditors' access to<br />

certain valuable assets, while operating within the bounds of debtor-creditor law.<br />

What is asset preservation?<br />

Asset protection (sometimes also referred to as debtor-creditor law) is a set of legal techniques<br />

and a body of statutory and common law dealing with protecting assets of individuals and business<br />

entities from civil money judgments<br />

What is protection from creditors?<br />

Creditor protection refers to laws that protect both the creditor and borrower in case of payment<br />

defaults. These laws are referred to as creditor protection. Creditor protection protects defaulted<br />

borrowers from creditors.<br />

Most home-based businesses will be sole proprietorships or partnerships. As such, the law sees<br />

you and your business as inseparable. If a liability claim is successfully made against you and your<br />

insurance isn't adequate, then you face losing your personal assets, including your home. Its one<br />

thing to lose money when a business fails — it's quite another to lose your family home because<br />

you failed to insure yourself adequately<br />

Loan defaults, business failures, property attachments and legal complications are common<br />

problems that affect entrepreneurs, senior management professionals, business families, business<br />

owners and other such high and ultra high net worth individuals (HNIs and UHNIs). Such individuals<br />

and entities have begun to realise the importance of creating safety nets to safeguard their personal<br />

wealth. Safety nets offer protection against the fallout of unforeseen business and personal<br />

circumstances. Used the right way, they constitute legal ways of ring-fencing one's business,<br />

personal or family wealth.<br />

Three factors must be considered: Timing, quantum and growth. Timing pertains to the question of<br />

whether the funds will be available when required or only at pre-determined time periods. Quantum<br />

relates to whether the mechanism in question can build a sizable corpus for the family, while growth<br />

refers to growing of wealth and beating the kind of inflation that HNIs experience.
