Most business owners do not think about asset protection until something goes wrong.

  • They set up an LLC but never structured it correctly, so the protection they thought they had does not actually hold up when it gets tested.

  • They mix personal and business finances without realizing that one lawsuit or one bad debt could put their house, their savings, and their personal accounts at risk.

  • Or they wait until there is already a problem to ask for help, and by then the options are a lot more limited.

None of those situations have to be yours.

The right structure, set up before something goes wrong, is what keeps your personal life separate from your business life

Ian helps Ohio business owners get that structure in place the right way.

We handle everything from start to finish.

  • Business Structure Review

     If your LLC or business entity is not set up correctly, the protection you think you have may not hold up. Ian reviews your structure and fixes what needs fixing.

  • Personal Asset Separation

     Your house, your savings, your vehicles, and your personal accounts should never be on the line for a business problem. We make sure they are not

  • Operating Agreement Audit

     A weak or outdated operating agreement is one of the most common ways business owners unknowingly expose themselves. Ian reviews and rewrites yours when needed.

  • Multi-Entity Structuring

     Some businesses need more than one entity to properly separate risk. Ian helps you figure out if that applies to your situation and sets it up correctly if it does.

Ian Heyman has been the trusted legal advisor to Ohio entrepreneurs for more than 25 years.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

A trucking operator came to us with one truck, one employee, and a business he had built from nothing. He had an LLC but had never thought about whether it was actually protecting him.

Ian reviewed his structure, identified the gaps, and helped him build out three separate business entities to properly separate his personal risk from his growing operation. Custom contracts. Clean structure. Real protection.

He did not just grow. He built something he could actually own without lying awake at night wondering what would happen if something went wrong.

That is what real asset protection looks like.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEY CALL

  •  It means making sure that if something goes wrong in your business, it stays in your business. Your personal house, savings, car, and accounts should never be at risk because of a business problem. The right legal structure is what keeps them separate.

  • Not necessarily. Having an LLC is a start but it is not enough on its own. How the LLC is structured, how your finances are managed, and what your operating agreement says all affect whether that protection actually holds up. Ian can review what you have and tell you exactly where you stand.

  •  It depends on how your business is set up and how you operate it. If there are gaps in your structure or if you have been mixing personal and business finances, the answer might be yes. That is exactly what proper asset protection is designed to prevent.

  • Before you need it. Once a lawsuit or creditor issue is already on the table, your options get limited fast. The best time to protect your assets is right now, before anything goes wrong.

  • Sometimes yes. Especially if you own real estate, operate multiple businesses, or have significant personal assets. Ian helps you figure out what makes sense for your specific situation without overcomplicating it.
