Texas Incorporate Service

Texas Incorporate Service

Incorporating your business helps with personal liability protection and tax savings. The main reason most incorporate in Texas is wanting the liability protection of your personal assets. Its best to use a Texas incorporate service to help make sure your formation papers are done correctly. When you incorporate, it helps to separate company and personal assets.  A legal corporate entity is set up to separate the officers and shareholders from any debts that the business incurs.  Typically, shareholders are not liable for the debts and obligations of the business. If you operate currently as a partnership or sole proprietorship, the creditors can go after the owner’s personal assets if the company’s assets are not enough to settle a claim.  This is a very dangerous concept for a small business owner who has assets to protect. Solve these issues and many more by incorporating in Texas today…….

How To Incorporate Your Business In Texas

You need to file a Certificate of Formation to incorporate your business in Texas. You file the Certificate of Formation with the Texas Secretary of State. There is a $300 filing fee required by the State. You can file this document online on the Texas Secretary of State’s website (SOSDirect). The appropriate steps to set up a corporation in Texas are:

1. Choose a name for your Texas corporation
