In the other thread, as I said, my friend had to declare personal as well as business bankruptcy.
This is because if your business is not making money, you are not getting paid, and yet you still have to eat.
An LLC provides you some great protections, for instance against someone suing your business and getting your home, it can't happen with an LLC...but an LLC cannot protect you from the need to regularly eat food and sleep in a secure place. If you have no income, you will be charging food from the grocery store or eating a lot of stale bread, I guarantee it!
$80K in debt for an artisan bakery in a world gone mad? What happens to your business if there is another downturn or terrorist attack and people go back to buying Bunny Bread? How many restaurants do you have lined up to buy your goods every day? How late do they pay? How long have they been in business, and how often do they switch suppliers? I don't need or want an answer, I'm just sayin' that the worst case is not some rare event that occasionally happens. It is the usual case, since most new businesses fail.
Personally, I wouldn't do it, but it's your life and ultimately your money. Good Luck!!!
