Launch your business with confidence—form your LLC today and protect your personal assets while enjoying tax flexibility

Forming an LLC offers several key benefits: limited liability protection, meaning your personal assets are protected from business debts and lawsuits, tax flexibility (LLCs can choose how they're taxed), easy management structure, and enhanced credibility with customers and suppliers. It's a great option for small business owners looking to protect themselves while maintaining control over their operations. 

The cost varies by state, but generally includes state filing fees, which can range from $50 to $500. In Texas, for example, the filing fee is $300. Additionally, you may have to factor in costs for registered agent services and any legal or professional help you choose to use for setup. Ongoing costs like annual reports or franchise taxes may also apply depending on the state. 

Yes, most LLCs will need an EIN, especially if you plan to hire employees, open a business bank account, or file federal taxes. It’s like a Social Security Number for your business and is easy to obtain from the IRS, often on the same day of application. Having an EIN also helps maintain a separation between personal and business finances. 

Absolutely! A single-member LLC is a common choice for solo entrepreneurs. It offers the same liability protection as a multi-member LLC, meaning your personal assets are safeguarded, while still giving you flexibility with how you're taxed—either as a sole proprietorship or electing corporate taxation. 

A registered agent is a person or business designated to receive legal and official documents on behalf of your LLC, such as tax notices or legal filings. Most states, including Texas, require LLCs to have a registered agent with a physical address in the state. This ensures that your business stays compliant and that you don’t miss any critical documents.
