Keep personal and business accounts separate. If you’re co-promoting, ask collaborators to co-sign the venue contract so you’re not the only person liable. The legal position after the arrest: not liable for anything because the venue, bar, and narcotics all belonged to other parties. The LLC absorbed the exposure. + +**Hire security that understands the law.** Off-duty police officers as security cost more but create a different dynamic with responding officers.
