Key Asset Protection Features of a Belizean International LLC

Part IV of the 2011 the Belizean International LLC Act outlines the asset protection strengths of Belizean International LLC entities:

• Section 36(1) provides that an LLC, its manager(s), and members are protected against court judgments delivered by a court outside Belize. This means the assets in your Belizean International LLC holding will be safe regardless of what happens in your home country.
• Section 36(2) provides that creditors of LLC members can legally apply for charging orders against a particular member’s interest. However, the judgment creditor shall only be limited to the rights of the assignee of the specific member. 
• Section 57 makes it impossible for assignees to partake in managing the affairs of the LLC.
• Section 37(7) outlines the procedures involved in bringing a lawsuit against an LLC. Creditors would first have to deposit $50k or half of the amount claimed (whichever one is higher) with the Supreme Court Registry of Belize. This, along with the costs of a Belize legal counsel, will be needed before they can institute legal action against the property of a Belizean International LLC. 

These sections intend to minimize lawsuits by imposing a significant financial burden on individuals or entities attempting to institute legal actions against the assets of a Belizean International LLC. It’s meant to deter anyone from bringing a lawsuit against a Belizean International LLC or its assets, members, or managers.
