S03E108 The Importance of Asset Protection with Garrett & Ted Sutton

Episode notes

We sit down with Garrett and Ted Sutton, the father–son legal team behind Corporate Direct, to unpack the real-world playbook for asset protection, what actually works, what gets people into trouble, and how to build a structure that holds up under pressure. From first entity to multi-state operations, they share the simple, high-leverage steps most founders overlook and the paperwork that stops a veil-piercing cold. We explore the most expensive setup mistakes, the danger of mixing personal and business funds, and why relying on a CPA for legal formation can backfire. You’ll learn when to add a management company, how to handle investors without tripping securities laws, and why a professional registered agent can save you from a silent default judgment. For real estate owners, we outline a clean architecture: take title in the property’s state LLC and use a Wyoming holding LLC for stronger charging order protection. Creators and digital asset investors aren’t left out.
