Common Mistakes to Avoid
And how we help you avoid them
Choosing LLC When S-Corp Would Save Thousands
For a business earning $150,000 in profit, this mistake costs $10,000-$15,000 per year.
Our Solution: We calculate the exact breakeven point and show you when S-Corp election makes sense.
Forming in the Wrong State
Out-of-state formations (like Wyoming or Delaware LLCs) rarely benefit small businesses.
Our Solution: We form your entity in the right state for your situation.
DIY Formation Without Tax Planning
Online formation services create your entity but don't optimize it for taxes.
Our Solution: We integrate tax strategy into entity selection from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does business formation take?
Texas Secretary of State processing is typically 3-5 business days for standard filing, 1-2 days for expedited. Total process from consultation to completed entity: 10-14 days.
Do I need a business formation if I'm a sole proprietor?
If you have significant income ($50K+) or any liability risk, yes. Operating without an entity puts your personal assets at risk.
What's the difference between LLC and S-Corp?
An LLC is a legal entity type. An S-Corp is a tax classification. You can have an LLC taxed as an S-Corp (often the best of both worlds).
Can I form my business myself online?
Yes, but you'll likely choose the wrong structure and miss critical tax planning opportunities. DIY formation often costs more in the long run.
When should I convert from LLC to S-Corp?
Generally when your net profit exceeds $60,000-$80,000. We calculate your specific breakeven point.
Will this work if I live outside Texas?
Yes. We can form entities for non residents and out of state business owners.
