One of the most popular business structures among small-scale business organizations is the Limited Liability Company (LLC). This business organization provides limited liability protection to its owners. It allows business owners to be free from an enormous deal of formalities normally imposed on other types of business ventures. LLCs are likewise eligible for “pass-through” taxation wherein the company's income taxes are only reflected on each of the owner's respective personal tax returns and not at the business level. Starting an LLC in Texas is easy, and our company will be able to assist you from its inception. First, all you need to do is tell us about your business, and our company will take the complexities involved in forming your LLC. Second, we will file the necessary paperwork for you to the Secretary of State using the information you have provided us. Lastly, you just have to wait to receive your documents at the comfort of your home, as you will receive your completed LLC package by mail once the state of Texas has approved your incorporation documents. LLCs provide personal asset protection, which shields business owners from personal liabilities over the business's debts. Unlike corporations, it is not burdened with the same stringent recordkeeping requirements.

FEATURES OF A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

MANAGEMENT FLEXIBILITY

The members of the LLC can determine how the company is viewed as a taxable entity in the state of Texas. LLCs can either be taxed federally as a partnership or as a sole proprietorship, depending on whether it is a multi-member or single-member LLC. The members may likewise opt to be taxed as a C- or S-corporation.

MINIMAL FORMALITIES REQUIRED

LLCs are burdened with very few regulations like compliance with annual reports filing and paying all applicable state-level taxes, unlike other business structures that need to comply with stringent regulations. Beyond this formation process, our team will help you remain compliant regardless of the stage your company is in.

PERSONAL ASSET PROTECTION

The individual partners' personal assets in an LLC are considered distinct from the company's personal interest invested. This only means that whatever the business has incurred in debts and liabilities, the same is solely the business's liabilities and not that of the members.

PASS-THROUGH TAXATION

An LLC is taxed on a "pass-through" basis, which means that the profits and losses of LLCs are paid out by each of the individual owners and are only reflected on their personal income tax returns and not to that of the company. The only difference is that LLCs with multiple owners must file a purely informational tax return for their business while a single-member LLC does not.
