Behind your company name an LLc is fine I call it a board of directors if it's a corporation and a board of advisors if it's an LLC in the Bylaws of your corporation it's going to define the role of the board of directors in an operating agreement for an LLC and in the minutes You should have a definition for your fort of advisors Both companies should have this team of advisors or directors to help you in your business number Two this will help you succeed. This is a key strategy forget taxes and asset protection This will help you succeed because in an entrepreneur to be lonely yep You know what I'm talking about a lot of times We need a team of people that believe in it it may not be your family, right? But a p team that's going to believe in you and help you succeed. Give you encouragement This board is a group of people Maybe three to five you can meet with on a regular basis for dinner a barbeque Some sort of meeting where you can talk about your goals and objectives, and they will give you constructive a supportive advice Number three, and of course is a great tax write-off This is your corporate trip your annual trip a regular meeting once a month once a quarter This is a trip that can be local for just a night out for dinner Or it could be to vegas for a big party juggernaut and a corporate meeting. I don't care you don't want to overdo It based on the size of your business, but this is something that is certainly a tax write-off you're going to take notes during the meeting and you're going to talk about how to succeed in your business better and get advice from Your board of directors or board and take notes and thereby justify the tax write-off for the travel dining and entertainment Involved with your meeting number four we've got to be doing this for asset protection right if you got a corporation or an LLC I want you having annual comedians at least and you might do it more frequently quarterly or monthly but in these Medians, you're going to substantiate the corporate veil or LLC veil You're going to be talking about the sales or the business the goals the objectives what you've sold what you bought who you hired who? you fired and Where the business is headed you're going to write it down and put it in the minutes of your lLc book or your corporate book That's going to help you out in a big way If there's ever a lawsuit that asset protection maintenance is critical and I've got other videos and writings about how to maintain your Corporation or LLC and having the annual meeting with your board of directors and advisors or more regular than that Will help you with your asset protection? Number five and I added this one for an important reason and that is your board will hold you accountable again kind of similar to the loneliness of an entrepreneur It's also a very self driven process where you have to hold yourself accountable to get up in the morning and get work done and get dressed and get going but With the board of Advisors and directors. I want you to share your goals when you share them They become real and I want your board of directors and advisers to hold you accountable Are you going to meet certain timelines? What's your goal for this year this month three months from now six months from now That's what a board can do to help. You succeed. Not only the encouragement and support But that ability to ask you how you're proceeding and hold you accountable to the goals are set Bottom line, this is an important tool You should be using and meeting with your lawyer about when you set up your entity Structuring your board of directors and advisors and if you don't have this in place get it done with your annual maintenance We have a company maintenance system in our law firm Very affordable once a year 150 bucks an entity to get all these pieces and parts done Talk to Becky Lloyd the director of that department if you need getting your company maintenance in place Bottom line, this is something that will save you taxes give you better protection and help you succeed as a business owner Thanks so much for watching it if you found that helpful Please look in the description below I've got links to my tax and legal library my quickbooks training videos how to start a small business 50 60 70 videos some as long as 30 minutes explaining more information on Tax and Legal Strategies that will change your life also if you'd like to subscribe to my newsletter or check out my social media links please click here There weekly free tips and strategies and articles that you'll find extremely helpful And I would appreciate it if you subscribe to my channel.
