Business Ownership

How to map debtor business affiliations and assess them as enforcement targets.

Overview

Many high-value debtors hold wealth in business entities, not personal accounts.

Mapping the debtor's role — owner, officer, manager, insider — drives strategy choices.

Charging orders, receivership, and alter ego theories all begin with a clean entity map.

Key Concepts

  • • Secretary of State filings
  • • Operating agreements and member interests
  • • Officer / director public filings
  • • Distributions and compensation as enforcement targets

Examples

Manager-managed LLC

Debtor is the manager and sole member of an active LLC. A charging order can intercept distributions; receivership may be available if distributions are suppressed.

Common Mistakes

  • • Ignoring entities the debtor controls but does not appear to own on paper.
  • • Assuming an LLC interest is freely seizable like stock.
