Most people think liability starts when they file paperwork.
It doesn’t.

Liability begins the moment business activity starts without a functioning structure to contain risk. Filing later does not correct early exposure, and success does not erase it.

This episode explains:
the difference between a business idea and legal protection
why entity formation timing matters
why EINs and filings do not create separation by themselves
how early conduct becomes permanent exposure

This is not a formation tutorial.
It is an explanation of how liability is created, tracked, and enforced.

Business Readiness Note
Many businesses launch in January without understanding where liability actually begins.
This episode is part of a business readiness series designed to help founders enter the new year with clarity instead of exposure.

Educational Trust Kits
If this episode clarified why liability begins before filings, the educational trust kits below walk through the first structure that actually contains exposure.

These kits are not legal advice or entity filings.
They exist to help you understand how trust-first structure works, why the trust agreement comes before the bank, and how ownership is separated from control.

If you plan to launch a business, scale one, or believe your current structure protects you automatically, this episode establishes the baseline reality the rest of the series builds on.
