Properly maintaining your business entity is essential to your success.

The most important reason for maintaining your business entity is to protect yourself from becoming personally liable for business liabilities. Keeping proper records and filing annual reports are essential steps in having the outside world recognize your business as a separate entity.

If your business entity is not properly maintained, personal assets could be required to pay business debts or to satisfy a lawsuit. The legal doctrine called “piercing the corporate veil”, if successful, could expose you to personal liability for any of the following:

  • Court judgments against the business
  • Unpaid payroll and other business taxes
  • Accounts payable and other contract liabilities
  • Breach of fiduciary duty claims by other owners

Eno Martin Donahue, LLP has expertise in creating and maintaining business entities and can provide you with protection against personal liability for your business obligations.
