Ideas to increase and protect your wealth
Article Abstract:
Business owners are alerted to a growing practice of property insurers of paying only up to the face value of the policies of property owners in case of a total loss of property. Business owners are also advised to correctly classify a worker as an employee or an independent contractor to avoid a misassessment of tax liability. In computing an ownership stake, owners are reminded that the Internal Revenue Service considers the stakes of other family members in computing the owner's effective ownership of a company.
