Dakota is the owner of Fresh Drapes, a home decoration company.

Creditor protection is a significant advantage of segregated funds over other investment types, especially for business owners like Dakota, who may face potential liability or creditor claims. According to LLQP guidelines, segregated funds, when properly structured with a designated beneficiary, can protect invested assets from creditors in the event of bankruptcy or other financial difficulties. This protection is often a critical benefit for small business owners seeking to shield personal assets​.

While options A, B, and C offer benefits of segregated funds, they are not as directly valuable to Dakota’s situation as creditor protection, which offers security specific to her needs as a business owner.
