The Freedom People has released a new guide outlining how Private Membership Associations (PMAs) may be used as a legally binding contractual framework for asset protection.
-- The latest guide from The Freedom People explains what a PMA is, how it differs from operating in the public regulatory domain, and how individuals may use private membership structures to manage services, property, and internal governance within a defined association model.

According to the resource, a private membership association is a private, contract-based entity, unlike public-facing businesses, formed between consenting members who agree to operate under mutually defined bylaws and membership agreements.
In outlining the distinction between public and private domains, The Freedom People notes that public businesses typically function under state licensing systems, statutory codes, and regulatory oversights - requirements that PMAs are often shielded from as they operate through private contracts, internal governance documents, and voluntary membership agreements. The guide explains that understanding this jurisdictional difference is central to determining whether a PMA structure aligns with an individual’s intended activities.
Beyond defining the structural distinction, the publication addresses asset protection considerations. It notes that PMAs are sometimes used alongside trusts or separate entities to create separation between personal assets and association-related operations. By clearly defining member relationships and limiting participation to those who voluntarily join under agreed terms, a PMA may establish internal liability parameters and governance procedures that differ from public business models.
The guide also stresses that maintaining the integrity of the private structure is essential, as mixing public commerce with private membership operations can create overlap that affects how the association is treated. For that reason, it recommends adhering to clear documentation framework, consistent member-only engagement, and adherence to established internal bylaws.
The Freedom People offers end-to-end consulting services for individuals seeking to establish a PMA, including assistance with drafting Articles of Association, bylaws, membership agreements, and related documentation, along with step-by-step guidance through formation and administrative processes.
“Our goal is to provide education and lawful structuring guidance,” a representative said. “People are hearing about PMAs but often lack clarity about how they function in practice. We focus on helping clients understand the contractual foundation and operational responsibilities involved.”
The guide indicates that PMAs may be suitable for practitioners, educators, consultants, and community-based organizations seeking private membership models, while noting that individuals should conduct independent research and consult qualified legal professionals before adopting any structure.
