Business Formation

Work with a reputable and established business formation attorney in Arlington Texas.

Texas law allows for the creation of a variety of business entities. When you are launching a new business, the choices you make during the formation stage are ones that should be made with the input of your attorney and your financial planner such as a CPA.If your business has been in existence for a while, it may be time to consider a restructure: Has your business expanded? Have there been changes in tax or regulatory law that affect your industry? Do you have a pending sale on the horizon? Has a key business principal passed away, or is one due to retire soon?

Whether you’re just getting started or you’re the third generation to take the helm, your business is likely your most important financial asset. That means you need wise and experienced counsel to help you develop long-term strategies, prepare important documents, and consider options that benefit your bottom line. The Harris Cook team is ready to provide guidance and assistance that will help you safeguard assets and protect yourself from exposure to liability.

Corporations

In Texas, a Corporation or LLC is viewed by the courts as a separate and unique entity. This is a major advantage to moving up to this business structure. In addition to that benefit, you can be the sole owner, or have shareholder owners. The corporation is enduring, operated by directors. You will have certain requirements to fulfill, such as holding regular director and shareholder meetings, keeping logs and other special books of record. Another benefit to your directors and shareholders is that their personal liability can be limited.

LLCs

For some businesses, formation as an LLC (Limited Liability Company) is an excellent choice. This entity has many benefits, such as limiting liability of members to their investment amount. It has the power of both a partnership and a corporation, and owners are called members instead of shareholders.Direction may be provided by any or all members or managers, depending on the way the LLC is set up. In addition, a member can be an individual, a partnership, or other legal entity such as trusts or corporations. A single member LLC’s income generally “flows through” to the owner’s income.   For multiple member LLCs, tax advantages are the same as partnerships enjoy.

Texas Business Structure Regulations
