Re: What to Watch for When Starting a Home business

You need to protect your personal assets. This can be done in several ways. First obtain a general liability insurance policy which is a blanket policy to cover you and your business. This should be for at least 1 million preferably 2. Secondly, you and your wife should incorporate your business. I would recommend a limited liability corporation. See a competent michigan business attorney in your area who can help you with the incorporation.

Good Luck!!!!
