I did go so far as to set up a company with a partner, it wasn’t classed as a franchise, fine line, and we had problems with it and the operational side of things, so we bailed. The contracts were for a head office in another state, because of this there were added…[Read more]

My accountant told me to forget trusts and using the company. he still maintains that the chances of being sued are low, like why bother. That is not to say you dont insure!

There is only me, no family, no one else, so all my properties are in my own name.

But I will keep thinking about it all.

people do tend to go on an ‘attack mode’ at times, sometimes it isnt really aimed directly, it just seems that way.

I understand that to have a ‘copy’ of something is illegal, to borrow someone elses ‘back up’ copy well. we can all play the games…
