One of the major assets of most small business owners is their \u201ctools\u201d. Tools can range from hand tools of a construction worker to the painting supplies of a painter. So, can they take your tools?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5354\" title=\"Construction Worker Carrying Lumber With Tools\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Construction-Worker-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"Construction Worker Carrying Lumber With Tools\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The answer is not simple; this is where an attorney can be helpful.\u00a0 If you are a sole proprietor then the tools are seen as your personal property and protected as any other property you have.\u00a0 By default, an business is a sole proprietorship if it is owned by one person and has not been incorporated in one way or another. An example of a sole proprietor is Joe Blow\u2019s Lawn Care; one person owns the company, owns the tools, works for himself, and files a self employment tax (Schedule C) on his taxes.\u00a0 The lawn mower, rakes, blower, hedgers, etc. all belong to Joe.\u00a0 If he decided to no longer run the company next week, the only difference would be that the tools would move from his truck to the garage. \u00a0If Joe were to be sued, he would need to protect those tools as he would any other asset he has from seizure.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if Joe had gone to the Secretary of State and registered his company, it\u2019s a bit of a different story.\u00a0 If that were the case, Joe Blow\u2019s Lawn Care, LLC owns the tools.\u00a0 They would be included in the <a title=\"What is a balance sheet?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/basics-of-understanding-financial-statements-for-your-business\/\" target=\"_blank\">balance sheet<\/a> (what tells other people what your company is worth) as a business asset.\u00a0 The lawn mower, rakes, blower, hedgers, etc all belong to Joe Blow\u2019s Lawn Care, LLC. If he decided to no longer run the company next week, the company still holds the assets until it is closed down with the Secretary of State (then in most cases ownership reverts back to the owner of the company).\u00a0 If Joe was to be sued and he was protecting his property, until he closed the company down, those tools belong to the company in which he owns, not him personally.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is, you can protect your tools using the \u201ctools of the trade\u201d exemption in North Carolina. An experienced attorney would need to look at your unique situation to determine if using that exemption is proper or not. If you own a business, whether it is large or small, we strongly suggest that you discuss all of your assets and liabilities with your attorney.\u00a0 Businesses can be a tricky subject, whether owned directly by you or an entity you own, and protecting your assets are important to your success in a bankruptcy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the recession our economy has faced, many small business owners find themselves sitting in our office discussing the possibility of filing for bankruptcy.\u00a0 Legitimately, one of their main questions is how to protect their assets.
