You don’t need to put your spouse on payroll just to help them qualify for Social Security. That protection already exists — it’s called the spousal benefit, and it’s been part of Social Security for decades.
So what should you do instead?
Build a board of directors or advisers for your business. It’s a smarter move that:
• Strengthens your asset protection
• Improves your business management
• Creates tax-deductible write-offs for travel and meals with your board
And yes — your spouse should absolutely be on that board.
