How a Nevada Corporation may be utilized in Asset Protection
A Nevada Corporation is a seperate legal entity from its stockholders. As such it can perform most duties that an individual person can, such as sign documents, engage in litigation, borrow, own property, open a bank account and incur trading debts.
In most cases, a Nevada corporation affords protection from liabilities for its stockholders, and limits potential losses to the investment made by the stockholders in the corporation.
If the Nevada corporation is sued and files for bankruptcy, the stockholders cannot be held responsible for its debts. As a result it is a common asset protection strategy when conducting business and for the protection of assets.
