  STARTING A NEW BUSINESS IN TEXAS
   
  CHOICE OF ENTITY | INCORPORATION  | NEW BUSINESS ISSUES

We guide clients through the legal issues faced by a new business including the choice of legal entity and choice of domicile. When we advise an entrepreneur or start-up business, we analyze their business plan to gain an understanding of their near and long term goals. Based on that understanding, our business attorneys develop a plan to address the common legal issues and needs of any new business, as well as the particular needs of the client, to help the client achieve their growth objectives.

THE LEGAL NEEDS OF AN EMERGING COMPANY

As business attorneys, we understand the full life cycle of a business. Each attorney in the corporate group understands entrepreneurs and business owners need to develop new technologies and raise capital to fund growth. Entrepreneurs require practical, cost-effective and strategic advice on corporate structure, fund raising, intellectual property protections, technology licenses and collaborations, employment agreements and many other matters. We add value to our business clients by structuring  their new venture to minimize tax and attract financing.

CHOICE OF ENTITY

Our corporate attorneys structure, organize and document all types of legal entities including C corporations, S Corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships and joint ventures, and consider both the choice of entity and choice of domicile to minimize taxes and maximize liability protections. Our attorneys are experienced with the unique characteristics and rules governing each of the different forms of entities that may be formed in Texas, including:

  • General partnership

  • Limited partnership

  • Corporations

  • S Corporations

  • Limited liability partnership (LLP)

  • Limited liability company (LLC)

  • Non-profit corporation

LEGAL FEES

One of the first questions that a new client asks us about incorporating a new business is the cost of incorporation. The cost of forming a new business depends on the complexity of the business arrangement. For instance, forming a partnership with several unrelated partners or third-party investors, is more complex than incorporating a sole proprietorship. In many situation, we can organize a corporation, partnership or limited liability company for a flat fee. When the client is forming a sophisticated business entity, we may give the client a budget, but bill our time on an hourly rate. Please contact us at the phone number below to discuss our fees for forming a new business.
