“Safeguard Your Assets”

An estimated 40 million new lawsuits will be filed this year alone. Find out where you may be at risk.

The Business Owner’s Asset Protection Kit contains a 300-page workbook, audiotape and state exemption report, showing how to protect your business from lawsuits, taxes, bankruptcy, divorce and other creditor threats. Worksheets allow you to evaluate "at risk" assets and those that are safe based on your type of business, state laws and asset allocation.

The kit can be ordered from Guardian Publishing at (800) 554-7233. Cost: $40 plus $5 shipping.
