"If you are planning to build, establish, grow and benefit from a small business, protecting your assets (and reading this book) should be one of your primary considerations.. Karen teaches this simple truth: own nothing yet control everything! Working with the SumTotal team you will be able to ethically quarantine your hard earned assets from creditors, competitors and the courts." — Harvee Pene

This is a call to arms for any business owner who is either doing so very well or is still so busy “making it” that protecting what they’ve earned, and what they’re going to earn is of secondary concern.

Protect Assets is essential reading for those that would hate to see all (or a significant chunk) of their life’s work be significantly impacted by tax, a poor decision, simple mistakes or complex errors. “It wasn’t my fault” doesn’t cut it anymore whether the blame lays with you, the business owner or a third party.

And this book will:

  • Identify the snares and threats to your business continuity and lifestyle
  • Carefully outline some common mistakes that can lead to all too common consequences
  • Clearly illustrate the steps that can be taken to safeguard your assets

If you do have a care for the future, yours, your business’s, those you care about, Protect Assets will get you thinking but more importantly, get you acting on the important advice that all business owner’s need to know about.

Remember, they’re your assets, they’re worth protecting.

We would hate to see all (or a significant chunk) of your life’s work be significantly impacted by tax, a poor decision, simple mistakes or complex errors.

Too many times you hear about people that have done brilliantly in business, only for something to go horribly wrong.

Then you’re shocked to find them and their families enduring real financial hardship a little while later.

How does this happen? How can business owners suffer such a dramatic and complete change of circumstances both commercially and personally?

Protection or lack of it would be one answer – and an all too common one at that.

The 101 Strategies that we’ve mapped out in this book are easy to understand and put into practice when you work alongside a professional — a professional who really knows what they’re doing.

And we’ll make that really easy for you to do too.

Protecting Assets is essentially about one thing and one thing only – ensuring whatever you’ve earned or accumulated is still yours to keep.

Yes, it’s really that important to safeguard what you’ve worked for. We’re talking about (deep breath) your house, your car, your college fund, savings, grand piano, workshop, land, season-tickets, tools, holiday home, quad bike, jewelry, art collection, all of it, everything.
