Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice regarding the best way to structure my business for legal protection. I’m currently involved in international email marketing and lead generation campaigns and work with agencies and clients primarily in Europe. Due to the nature of my business, I want to make sure that I’m fully protected from potential legal risks, such as disputes over contract terms, data privacy issues (GDPR compliance), and any other potential liabilities that could arise.

I’m considering setting up my company in a jurisdiction that provides strong legal protection for the business owner, particularly when it comes to issues like:

  • Personal liability protection: I want to ensure that my personal assets are not at risk if my business faces legal challenges.
  • Data privacy compliance: Since I deal with European clients and must adhere to GDPR, I want to be sure I’m fully covered in terms of privacy laws.
  • General business protection: I’d also like to know if certain jurisdictions offer more robust protection against lawsuits or contractual issues.
I’ve been thinking about forming an LLC in the U.S., but I’m not sure if this would provide me with the protection I need, especially considering the international aspect of my business.

Does anyone here have experience with this or know of any countries or jurisdictions that might offer strong legal protection for entrepreneurs in situations like mine? Would an LLC be sufficient, or should I look into other types of entities or jurisdictions?

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
 
Where are you based and where is the work performed? In most jurisdictions they will always be able to sure you there and get any assets located there. Also, you will be liable to pay taxes where you live and perform the work in most cases.
