Have a blessed week, friends!
Why is it recommended to open an LLC? I know that only in the event of a lawsuit against the company is everything I own in my personal name protected.
But once there are assets or money in the company's account, then in the event of a lawsuit, everything is in jeopardy?
I would appreciate some clarification on this issue...I currently have a bank account at CHASE which is like a private account (DBA)
In the case of an LLC, the owner is the company. In the event of a lawsuit, you can be repaid up to the amount of its assets – that is, the house. If the account is a company account, what is in it should be its only (the fruits of the rental, etc.). Since what is in the account is part of the company's property, it will also be at risk of seizure in the event of a need to repay. If there are funds there that are not related to the company, this is a problem because it will be difficult to color the money and all the funds are exposed. If the account is yours privately, and not under the company, it will be more difficult to get your hands on the funds in the event of an attempt to be repaid from the company's assets, although it is possible that the person who sued (and won) will prove that in fact these are the company's assets (money) or that in fact your private account belongs to the company. This will be examined substantively and not informally. This is very roughly of course and not in place of individual advice.
As far as I understand, only if there is complete separation between the LLC's activities and the private conduct and/or other LLCs, can it be said that the remaining assets not registered with that LLC are indeed "protected."
If there is a bank account into which funds are transferred from various LLCs or the money in the account is used for personal/private expenses, all assets are exposed.
As far as I understand, in the event of a lawsuit, only the assets registered under the LLC can be sued, not personal assets.

The protection in an LLC limits the risk once you have several assets and this limits the risk to the particular asset and prevents you from personal exposure.
