Within this section of Business Tools, we reproduce a number of contracts and forms that are useful in forming and operating a business with a maximum level of asset protection. From the earliest agreement to start a company to ways to remove valuable assets from a growing business, these forms cover the most popular strategies and gives clues as to how best to structure your operation. Equipment leases and various financing arrangements are also covered, allowing you the greatest protections under the law.

The following Sample Equipment Lease might be used when the business owner seeks to personally own "tools of the trade" and lease the same to the operating entity to preserve an exemption; or when the intent is for the holding entity to own the assets, and lease the same to the operating entity, to reduce the exposure to liability.
