I was wondering: If i start a C Corp, or an S Corp, and someone sued ME, could they take my company from me?

Question

Also, what if there are no "shareholders", and it is just me, behind the wheel (if that is even possible...)? Does this make a difference?

Answer 1

Well I am not an accountant or lawyer so this is only my opinion. A corporation whether C or S corp  if properly run-- meaning you do not mix comapny funds with your personal funds then you and your company are 2 separate people and therefore the company could not be taken away.  

In a lawsuit, they will look at how your corporation was setup and run.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, yes. Your stock in the corporation would be an asset of yours just like your bank accounts.  A judgement against you might ask you to forfeit the stock.

Edit: if it's just you behind the wheel, there's still one shareholder - you.
