There should be no point in time when you are working together and agreeing on the future of the business.  

I have never done a land trustWe have a living revocable trust that we set upHonestly I should have done it 15 years ago but did it like 6 years ago.I do not see the need for a land trust unless you are a politician, actor or athlete (someone who is famous).I have done business with multiple billionaires (not bragging but trying to make my point) including several that owned professional sports teams - and even they did not use land trusts…

I'm a full-time business owner seeking to move into passive investments.

I enjoy buying properties, designing them, and seeing the end product. 

Really evaluate how you run the business.

I know I need to start an LLC ( possibly several) and get a business bank account.

She has an established cleaning business and is expanding her services. 

This type of product carries high risk. 

I am going to get an LLC for business.

Developing a reputation for integrity and fairness in business interactions might help you find off-market assets.
