Incorporation 911
Bullet-Proof Your Corporate Veil

Welcome to Incorporation911.com!

Incorporation 911 is help for your small business organization: corporation, limited liability company (LLC), limited partnership (LP), private practice, trust or other entity. Help with your corporate formalities. We can help you bullet-proof your corporate veil.

This is our mission and prime objective:

Solidify, enhance and reinforce your corporate shield - now - before a lawsuit strikes or notice of a tax audit arrives in the mail.

When your company was formed it was endowed with separate legal existence. Along with that existence, it has a personality of its own and limited liability for its owners. Your liability is generally limited to your investment in the company.

But...after the company is formed your actions can jeopardize its separate legal and tax status, and your limited liability.

Your small business entity is entitled to the same benefits, tax deductions, write-offs, privileges and perquisites as the large incorporations and firms.

It is also bound by the same rules of corporate governance as the large incorporations and firms. Courts - and the IRS - are crystal clear on this subject: If you neglect to treat your company as a separate legal entity, they will too. They will set it aside and impute personal liability to you, and disallow tax deductions. To do just that, they use rulings that contain terms like "alter ego", "nominee", "self dealing", “arm’s length”, and "failure to observe corporate formalities".

Litigators know this. You should, too! They also assume that you neglect the details of good corporate governance, like holding meetings, adopting resolutions and recording these events in corporate minutes. They know that most people are ignorant, intimidated, or just too busy to tend to the formalities. It is the easiest thing for them to prove, so that's exactly what they focus on when they launch their attack on you and your company.

Your personal battle starts with a lawsuit, judgment, lien, seizure, bankruptcy, divorce, or, God forbid...a revenuer's Notice of Examination. Among the first salvos launched by counsel for the plaintiff, or the Revenue Agent: A subpoena duces tecum, or summons, for copies of your formal corporate minutes and records. That's the way it works. You'd better have them in good order. Or else...YOU LOSE.

What stands between you and your corporation is its veil. That armor shield keeps corporate creditors, litigants, revenuers and other would-be adversaries from merging you with your company. If they can do that, they can steal your personal assets to satisfy their claims against the company - valid or not.

WHAT I DO NOT DO FOR YOU

  • I do not act as an incorporator or company formation agent;
  • I do not serve as a Registered Agent;
  • I do not provide a registered office address;
  • I do not offer basic-to-comprehensive-office-package-plans, virtual or otherwise;
  • I do not prepare legal, tax or administrative forms;
  • I do not give legal or tax advice.

WHAT I DO FOR YOU

  • I do prepare corporate minutes and resolutions;
  • I do corporate armor-plating, shield and veil building;
  • I do it from an asset protection perspective;
  • I do it with 25 years of real-world experience involving litigation, tax audits and other generally challenging situations;
  • I do what you don’t do but should do for your company, yourself, your family, and your business associates.

WHY I DO WHAT I DO FOR YOU

I work for you to help you claim and keep your corporate benefits:

  • Limited personal liability;
  • Income tax advantages;
  • Personal and financial privacy;
  • Asset protection;
  • Separate legal existence;
  • Compartmentalization of your assets and liabilities; and
  • Bullet-proofing your affairs
