Understanding Entity Formation in Texas

Key considerations for startups and entrepreneurs

Texas offers multiple entity types, each with unique legal and tax implications. LLCs are popular for small businesses due to their flexibility and liability protection, while corporations provide more structured governance and opportunities for raising capital.

Common Questions About Business Formation

Thorough answers for Houston entrepreneurs

  • Which business entity is right for me?

    The best entity depends on your goals, liability concerns, and tax considerations. LLCs offer flexibility and personal asset protection, while corporations are ideal for raising capital and complex governance structures. We assess your situation and recommend the structure that fits your vision.

  • Do I need an attorney to form an LLC or corporation?

    While you can file basic documents yourself, an attorney ensures your structure is set up correctly and complies with Texas law. We draft operating agreements, bylaws, and other foundational documents to protect your business and prevent future disputes.

  • What are the benefits of an LLC over a corporation?

    LLCs offer simpler management and fewer formalities while providing liability protection. Corporations, on the other hand, may offer tax benefits and are often preferred by investors. We help you weigh the pros and cons based on your specific business goals.

  • Can you help with partnership agreements?

    Yes, we draft clear partnership agreements that outline roles, responsibilities, and profit distribution. These documents are critical for preventing disputes and ensuring smooth operations. We tailor agreements to fit your business relationship and objectives.

  • What ongoing requirements do I need to maintain my entity?

    Texas requires businesses to file annual reports and maintain proper records to preserve liability protection. We guide you through compliance requirements and help you stay organized. Our goal is to keep your company protected and operating smoothly for years to come.
