  1. Separate you, your business and your assets – If you’re not already incorporated, consider incorporating. If you’re already incorporated, consider setting up a holding company to transfer your wealth to.
  2. Place personal savings into investment products – Segregated fund contacts offer potential creditor protection when you name a spouse, parent, child or grandchild as your beneficiary.
  3. Separate personal and corporate life insurance – Hold personal life insurance contracts personally rather than corporately.  Again, name your spouse, parents, children or grandchildren as your beneficiary.
  4. Do it now – If your business is in trouble, it’s almost impossible to establish a creditor protection plan. It must be done while you and your business are healthy.
  5. Get professional advice – Ask legal experts, tax professionals and a private wealth advisor with experience how to assess your unique risks, then close any gaps.
