Texas

TX Starting a Business

Provides help with various aspects of starting and running a business such as business registration, trade name registration and applications, business plan help, business structures, financing, tax information and more.

Frequently, people that form a business in Texas choose a Texas LLC.

Sometimes it makes more sense to incorporate in Texas with a corporation in Texas, which can be elected to be a Texas S corporation.

Either way, we like to recommend Northwest Registered Agent for business startups because of their suite of business maintenance tools and great customer service.
